Picnic packed? Mobile charged? Instagram ready? At Mas Ventós, a special spot in the Natural Park of the Cap de Creus, you'll need all three. The picnic area has some 13 wooden and stone tables, which are well separated, and a place for barbecues. The best part, however, is the excellent viewing-point over the Bay of Roses and Saverdera valley. It's so good that you might actually forget to eat your food. By the way, even though the old house (in whose grounds the picnic area sits) is lying in ruins, the toilets are helpfully still in use.
Picnic spots are the natural, free alternative to eating out on a bar or restaurant terrace. Idyllic corners where you can have lunch, enjoy an extended 'vermouth hour' or even have an evening do with friends and family, without having to pay out loads of money. Fill your flask, grab the blanket and start making rounds of sandwiches. It's time for a picnic!
