Cala Callela…The Assault Course
We had another shot at the coastal path today. We locked our bikes up outside the local Oficina de Turismo and walked up the steep path to this viewpoint, the Cap de la Barra. It is about 100 metres above…

Calamares a la Romana
We are putting down roots here in L’Estartit; it is quiet and peaceful here at the moment in the low season. There’s not a lot in Saturday’s blog entry because not a lot happened. We set off for a walk…

Torroella de Montgri…Un Petit Rebellion and the Bishop’s Nose
Today we cycled to Torroella de Montgri which is a small town about 5 km inland from L’Estartit. There is a good cycle path, mainly off road, from L’Estartit. Torroella de Magri gets its name from this Castle, built between…

Roses…El Dolmen de la Creu
Today Wednesday the weather had taken a distinct turn for the better and we set off on our bikes again, heading out of Roses towards El Dolmen de la Creu…this is a neolithic structure; one of many scattered over Spain…
Port Vendres to the Bay of Roses. Un Poco de lluvia.
After an overnight stop overlooking the beach at Sète, we moved on down the coast to an aire at Port-Vendres. The aire ( N 42.517752, E 3.114114 )isn’t very pretty, being tucked away behind a large container terminal, but Port…

Castellane and the Grand Canyon
On Sunday we drove 212 miles across Provence to an aire at Sète, on the eastern edge of the Languedoc-Rousillon region. It’s good to travel on a Sunday in France; the lorries are all off the roads. We drove first…

Lac Thorenc….1.5 degrees…Are We still in France?
We headed inland and spent the night on an aire at Lac Thorenc ( N 43.799659, E 6.807767). This is just the sort of aire we like, remote, surrounded by trees and with good walks through the forests or around…
