I’ve done both and the Spanish route , was best for me.

Need a stamp on entering and leaving EU countries now I think .

Flying into carcassonne, and having a few days in Perpignan. Done lloret and I prefer this way now. Train up to Perpignan about an hour and a half, lovely little place is Carcassonne.

Think I'm going to fly into Girona on the Friday morning, spend the day and Saturday in Lloret, bus to Barcelona on the Sunday, stay there Sunday evening and fly home from Barcelona on Monday evening

Watch out for those angry locals using water pistols on tourists

If it's warm I won't mind the cooling down!

Tickets collected from the stadium this morning for it, sold around 800 apparently
