Day 144: Girona (Cycle/Drive)

Tonight I reside at dedicated Motorhome Parking at a rate of €25 per 24 hours, in Girona! I had hoped to park in a free "park4night" location. However, on arrival the

Day 139: Vic (Drive/Cycle/Drive)

First there was a short drive to La Pobla de Lillet: Where they have a Train Line and Cement Museum (both closed! But, on another day I could be tempted to visit!): Second,

Day 138: Bagá (Cycle)

A col sign many kilometres from the coll! When I awoke at about 8am, and looked out of the rectangular window, it was foggy of the thick dense kind, which was not in

Day 136: Sant Corneli (Cycling)

A view a little beyond the Coll de Salamó summit: "before the descent returned to ascent"! Even lucky people encounter bad luck! If you insist on going out when the weather

Day 126: Santes Creus (Drive/Cycle)

A fairly easy and relaxed ride today: a couple of climbs, one monastery and one sanctuary. Sanctuori de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat:         The first climb was: ... clearly somebody wanted the gradient

Day 125: La Riba (Rain!)

Day 124: La Riba (Cycle)

Today's ride included a climb up to Rojals (Altitude: 975 metres) from Montblanc (Elevation: 337 metres). What surprised me was the discovery that Rojals was the smallest of small pueblos, when

Day 123: La Riba (Drive)

Today was an early start so that I could arrive in Tarragona in good time to find a parking space. I arrived at about 8.15am and there were loads of spaces! The

Day 122: Cambris (Drive/Cycle)

So I fell asleep in Falset with the pueblo in darkness. Only a select few places had power, for example, a hotel. When I awoke at about 4am, the motorhome "car park&
