Hotel Don Juan, Northern CataloniaThis is a modern and stylish Mediterranean complex, typical of those on the Spanish coast, catering mainly for tourists on their summer holidays and very family-orientated. The hotel is built on a hill and three of the floors are laid out in terraces, which climb the hill. The bungalows are rustic Catalan style with beamed ceilings. Groups are normally accommodated in the hotel rooms rather than the bungalows.
