Hotel Bonaire is in L'Escala
L'Escala is the seaside village of the Costa Brava worldwide well-known for its anchovies. Several producers of different levels crafts, sell their major production manufactured in the village itself and its surroundings.
L'Escala emerged in the XVIth century as a small fishing port between the beaches of Empúries and Riells as dependent village of the city of Empúries, formerly occupied by the Romans and Greeks. The town's name comes from the place name Scala, the old name used to designate the port itself. In 1766 l'Escala gets its status as an independent village and became the province capital because of its important maritime customs, and their exporting importance of wine and salted fish.
In the XIXth century l'Escala still holds an economy based on fishing and the wine, until a new phenomenon appears in the region: tourism. Since the beginning of 1960, we find many visitors captivated by the beauty of L'Escala, beaches, culture and traditions.
The specialty of the town are the anchovies with bread and tomato, a very nice toast consisting on applying Ampurdán tomato over the bread and also some salted anchovy fillets. Each September is celebrated the the anchovies day, when banquets with this popular exquisite typical fish are organized in a popular way.
L'Escala has the most important archaeological museum in Catalonia. Around it you find the ruins of Ampurias, an archaeological site of first importance on Greek and Roman cultures.
Another of the attractions of L'Escala is the marine cemetery, close to the seaside boulevard (you can walk along it through the beaches of the village and encounter the Monument dedicated to the Sailors). Located behind the Nieves Mar Hotel, a few meters from the sea, this unique cemetery keeps the tomb of one of the most international women writers of Catalan literature: Caterina Albert, who signed in the nineteenth century under the pseudonym Victor Català, because of prejudices of her time.
In the center of l'Escala there is its old town and, near the Puig del Pedró (a little mound), you can still find a watchtower against piracy, from which the whole bay of Roses is seen, with the Pyrenees behind in the background.

Welcome- The helpfulness regarding where we could find free parking in the area and allowing us to leave our bags even though we'd arrived early. Location- Away from the most touristy area but less than 100 paces to an early morning dip in the sea! Plenty of choice nearby for eating out. Facilities- Appeared to be recently re-fitted shower room with large shower cubicle and spotless in all respects. Room- a reasonable sized room with balcony. The 4 of us filled it but it was clean, simple and served us perfectly well - even a small sofa had we needed it. Breakfast- Lovely to sit outside and be served. We'd been pleased with the baskets of pastries and packs of 'toast', jams etc and then totally surprised when a cheese and 'charcouterie' platter also arrived! Whilst not luxurious, would be very happy to go back! Struggling to think of anything... But we always appreciate having tea- making facilities. This was the only thing missing from our room - on the other hand they did leave bottled water for our arrival! |

The bar and restaurant were nice. I really enjoyed the breakfast, including the service. The elevator failed to carry us up to our room and we had to take the stairs. The air conditioning did not work. |

The helpfulness of the staff. Very good breakfast also. The room was clean. The parking situation. It is hard to find the hotel at night. Don't drive to it. It is better to park in a designated municipal parking lot. The TV was blasting in the bar area! |

Reception was very warm. Proprietress spoke excellent English and was very accommodating. Loan of an umbrella saved my visit to the ruins in rainy conditions. Room was very comfortable. Packed me a VERY nice picnic breakfast because I had to catch an early bus. Thank you so much - it was great! I didn't want to leave. Wifi was unreliable in the room. |

Realmente la relación calidad precio no es la más ajustada, pero es un hotel bastante acogedor, con el personal agradable y buen desayuno. la habitación... si Booking da la opción de elegir o poner preferencias en cuanto al tipo de habitación, al menos que lo intenten respetar. La temperatura de la ducha era irregulable... |
