La Guinguette du Golf sur Leucate

09/10/2023: La Stregheria is a truly delightful place to stay. The owners and their staff are charming, friendly and welcoming. They were very forgiving of my poor French and very encouraging as I slowly added to my vocabulary. Our room was stylish with cool, clear and comfortable décor and a cute little balcony looking out to the expansive beach and sea. Breakfast was a delight of fruit, yoghurt, pastries, lovely crusty bread, eggs and bacon/ham and great coffee, making a very good start to our days. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the menu and food was first class. The ambience is relaxed and chilled. La Franqui is a wonderful place to slow down and relax in this somewhat unusual spot on the Mediterranean. It retains an unspoilt, laidback and low key feel that is so hard to find anywhere else along the coast. I felt like I had stepped back a few decades to an elusively hippy, happy time and place. A broad sandy beach, lots of water sports options, some cool cafes and restaurants. Let’s hope it doesn’t become another beach with chains of big hotels; it is far too special a place to change in any way.
