We drove to Figueres today - it's about 45 minutes from here and a really good journey. It was a lovely dry and sunny day, and not cold, so we parked up and walked through a park and found the Dali Museum. We spent a couple of hours in there - so much to see! There was also an extra exhibition of his jewellery - everything was amazing! Then we went and had a very nice lunch!

We decided to go walking today - we woke up to sunshine! We headed up behind the town and did a bit of the GR92 and ended up at a little cove called Cala Ferriol. It was lovely and quiet and peaceful and Fraser decided to go skinny-dipping!!! He took all his clothes off and went into the water but decided it was a bit too cold. Just as he got out and got dressed, another couple turned up, then some more people - and then even more people!!! We sat and had lunch then headed back up again and back to the campsite - feeling tired!

Woke up to rain, again! We'd already decided we'd drive into Girona. When we arrived there, we met an English couple who told us there was a procession this evening to celebrate the Three Kings, so we thought we'd stay and watch it. We strolled around the old town - the Jewish Quarter and around the Cathedral and had a lovely pizza for lunch and then it started raining! We saw a bit of the parade but the rain was so heavy, we decided to head back to L'Estartit. Girona is a lovely town and we enjoyed walking around and seeing the sights.

We woke up to rain! But, decided to go for a stroll anyway. We walked down to the seafront and along to the marina - it was very nice! And, it stopped raining! We strolled back and the rain started in earnest and it rained for the rest of the day and evening.

We left Peniscola at 10.00 this morning and arrived at L'Estartit at 4.30 in the afternoon - a lovely drive through really different scenery - long, wide rivers and snow-capped mountains! We stopped at Manresa to do some shopping and I took this photograph.

We cycled as far as we could again today and then walked along to the tower. Sat and had lunch and read our books in gorgeous sunshine again! We're leaving here tomorrow so have to start packing up.

We walked along the beach up to the castle to see the fireworks at midnight - they were giving away free fizz and grapes!! We went back today during to day to see the market which was on at the castle.
