Zagan the motorhome is our second home. We have a small part of a house\u00a0we call ‘The Cooler’ which we also live in when in the UK, while renting out the other bedrooms in the house. That, to me, is decadence. I’m a bit embarrassed by it. A luxury motorhome (none of that slide-out stuff you see on the telly – our 6m long machine is beautiful and comfortable while actually being park-able across medieval Europe) plus a UK residence which again is easily big enough to hold all the stuff we need. And we’re both 43 years old, and neither of us ever\u00a0need to work again if we don’t want to (nah, there have been no lottery wins, inheritance, early pensions, finding of treasure and no\u00a0state handouts have come our way).<\/p>\n

Why am I blathering on about all of this?\u00a0Empuriabrava, that’s why.<\/p>\n

Baz left us a comment suggesting we round the Gulf of Roses before leaving Spain to see this place. I’m glad he did, it’s an eye opener. Counting the number of spots we’ve stayed in motorhomes since we started this blog, we’ve up to about 530 by now, so we’ve seen a lot of stuff man. These have included a fair few Roman sites, from Hadrian’s Wall<\/a> down to Ksar Ghilane<\/a>, so we opted to skip the site near to L’Escala. It’s becoming a tad difficult to find really jaw-dropping spots in Europe as a result, although I’m hoping Scandinavia will come up with the goods next year. But just when you think you’ve seen it all…<\/p>\n

Empuriabrava is as old as I am – built on the location of a swamp in the late 60’s, early 70’s. Tourism in Spain must have been one serious Golden Child when the developers suggested the place. It’s a massive complex of villas, most of which front onto part of the 15 mile canal network, providing 5000 private moorings, and must have cost the Earth to create. Nowadays it’s got a population of about 8,000 in winter, rising to 80,000 in the heat of summer. We’re here in late November, and it’s pretty much empty.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07268<\/a> \"DSC07318<\/a><\/p>\n

After getting up at 7am to eyeball the sunrise this morning, we rolled off our perch and straight into a supermarket, smiling as ‘The weather outside is frightful’ played out across the isles while the sun poured down outside. Topped up with clinking bottles we then drove here, stopping at one end of the town as suggested in the\u00a0park4night.com<\/a> database (N42.25621\u00a0E3.10509). It’s a cracking spot, although\u00a0as\u00a0there are about 72,000 people missing, there’s a fair bit of free parking to be had throughout the place!<\/p>\n

\"DSC07339<\/a>

Tonight’s kipping spot in Empuriabrava. Flat it is too, woo, hoo!<\/p><\/div>\n

After lunch, Ju and I headed off to see the town. And immediately I got a sight of the first canal my Money Muppet hat went on. There are either some seriously wealthy people around here, or I’m eyeballing the Greatest Show of Money Muppetry I’ve ever seen. Canal after canal rolled past, capped with glass-flat waters, reflecting white-washed villas and encasing the hulls of immobile yachts and pleasurecraft. There’s only the odd person to be seen, almost everywhere’s closed up for the winter. The closer we got to the beach, the bigger the villas, the more enormous the yachts, but still no people. Estate Agent windows drew us in. \u00a3450,000 seems about the going rate for a 3 bed villa with a mooring, which again seems about the average around these parts – this listings importantly tell you the distance your mooring is away from your door.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07355<\/a> \"DSC07376<\/a> \"DSC07342<\/a><\/p>\n

\"You<\/a>

You dump your palm tree offcuts in special collection points here – nice idea.<\/p><\/div>\n

I couldn’t do the maths in my head, but I have a computer here beneath my fingertips, just a mo. OK, I could have done the maths (shame on me!), but I got a bit carried away with compound interest and stuff, which is far too complex for this wee scenario.<\/p>\n

Let’s make some massive assumptions, just for the hell of it. Say the well-heeled couple who own one of the \u00a3450k second-home villas have a very decent combined take home pay of \u00a3200k from their full-time jobs. Let’s then assume they’re frugal-ish and are saving 15% of that, so \u00a330k a year (‘frugal’ to me would be min 50% savings rate, but this is just for fun). Very basic maths – it would take them 450\/30 = 15 years of full time employment before they could afford the second villa. Hold on though, who saves up? They’d have a mortgage to speed stuff up, which would increase their costs. And they’d have bills for the villa. And they’d need to buy and run a nice boat and Porsche, or risk looking daft out here. Quick guess then – 20 years.<\/p>\n

I’m sat here drinking a beer at 4pm on a Monday afternoon (which I don’t normally do, but again I’m making a point), looking at these guy’s\u00a0unused villa, while they’re grafting their\u00a0balls off in the office for the next 20 years, worrying about what happens if that seemingly endless flow of salary at any time happens to be halted by the fickle finger of (choose your weapon) a tanking economy\/a mental breakdown\/your boss changing to someone who hates you\/your entire industry being shifted offshore and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07352<\/a>

Boat garage? Sweet. I need one.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"DSC07341<\/a>

Russian Muppets (may be) here too.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"DSC07379<\/a>

Quite large boats near the sea.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"DSC07349<\/a>

Have to admit, it does look pleasant here!<\/p><\/div>\n

Put more simply: my point is: this place appears to be the playground of the rich. But is it? I don’t know the answer. It could be. Maybe everyone here has bought the villa and yacht in cash, and has enough income from passive investments to chill out here in summer, while nipping to the Antipodean lands in winter to catch some rays? I’d quite like to believe this, but I have a wee suspicion there’s some Money Muppetry going on!<\/p>\n

\"DSC07372<\/a>

Interesting architecture among the standardised villas<\/p><\/div>\n

\"DSC07391<\/a>

Handy drinks chart – weird chip man on the left though – scary!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"DSC07388<\/a>

Anyone think of a more ironic yacht name?<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyway, enough of all that. Our feet have carried us all the way to the coast, about 2.5km from here, but on the way back the walk weirdly increases to about 10 miles. Odd. Although I did need a wee, so that might have affected it. On that note, it’s time for another beer.<\/p>\n

\"What's<\/a>

What’s this? Ju walking PAST a Chinese shop? Never fear, we looked around it on the way into town and Lidl is on the horizon.<\/p><\/div>\n
