Ok, i know Catalunya is a big area but....

Hi Everyone, i realise this is a very vague question but i guess we have to start somewhere! My Wife and I currently live in Asturias but feel we want to move to experience another part of Spain and have decided upon Catalunya. So my very open question is does anyone have any suggestions for place to start looking! We  currently live in a very small village up in the hills but feel it is a little too isolated, there are no shops or bars in the village and the nearest town is about 15 windy Km away), so we are looking for comewhere in a small village but with facilities and rural ie large village rather than cities. We are both walkers/skiers and enjoying the outdoors so good countryside around us is essential (we both ride motorcycles too so good roads would be a bonus too)

I realise that everyone's idea of a wonderful place to live is different but i am open to any suggestions just so we have somewhere to head to whenwei start searching.

Sorry, but also what is the house rental market like over in Catalunya? We currently pay 450€/m for a three bed house.

Many thanks Tony

 HI, I have lived in Pineda which used to be a small sea front town, this has now expanded over the years, if you want lively then Lloret de mar is the place to go, although i prefer lloret blau which is in the hills above or fanals a small suberb to the left of lloret. Blanes is also popular.
