The alarm went off at 02:30 am. We drove to Stansted in the summer dawn and caught the 08:05 Ryanair flight to Girona. Ryanair calls this Barcelona/Girona. The airport is in the Barcelona region but miles from the capital.
At Girona we got a local bus to the city centre where we caught the regional express train to Cerbère. We were welcomed into France by aggressive police demanding to see passports. So much for the Schengen agreement! When we last came to Cerbère, we crossed the mountain col and met no police unless the charming couple who greeted us with Bon Dia / Bon jour were under cover.
We walked 3.9 km from the station to our accommodation. The staff at the Village des Aloes were as pleasant as the station staff were nasty. France begins to redeem itself.
