We had our hotel breakfast, which was the same each day -- 4
slices of jamon, 2 slices of cheese, 2 slices of regular ham, a bowl of pureed
tomatoes, toasted bread, coffee, 4
pieces of pastry and a big jug of orange juice. At first we were not
sure what to do with the tomato puree, but at the wedding we saw that they put a
lot of it on the bread and eat this soaked bread with the jamon so that’s what
we did. After breakfast and quick packing (stuff still in car) we set out. The countryside in this part of Spain is
beautiful. Green rolling hills and a few small hill-top villages. We stopped at a large city (Tarragona).
It has a pretty historic area with quite a lot of well preserved Roman
ruins, and a lovely cathedral. We walked
it for an hour. Our next stop was our
hotel in Castelldefels. It is a beach
city like Huntington Beach. Our hotel is right on the beach. It is 20 minutes from the Barcelona airport which was instrumental in
the choice. We walked the street along
the beach and picked a place for our 3 pm comida. It was the best meal we have
had on the trip. Out of necessity we
waded in the Mediterranean. We then walked the
board walk for half a mile enjoying the view and the breeze.
