Hi, myself and family are spending a week in Estartit in September, we went June 2010 and weather was excellent obviously for the time of year, but in September ( early Sept by the way ) can anyone tell me what to expect weather wise?? Is it still beach weather and sitting by the pool weather? warm enough to catch the sun?? Any other Estartit lovers? I used to go there with my parents in the 80s and it was thriving then, but when i took my family in 2010 it seems to have slowed down a bit which is a shame as it is an ideal place for families, really friendly people etc and plenty of decent bars and stuff like Tex mex and Clancys for a breakfast or an english meal at tea time, but it does seem a lot quieter these days, my family loved the place still just like i did all those years ago when i was a kid. Any help on the weather question greatly appreciated, cheers
