Champagne is the French Cava?


Awaiting for us in our room was a bottle of cold cava. Castell D'Ordal. When wondering how to explain what cava was, Albert told me to f#%k the French and it was cava. Didn't everyone know what cava was?

Beaches by the Delta


I had no idea there would be so many swimming beaches here. I have always thought of the mouths of rivers to be quite dirty, murky and unsuitable for swimming. But here its lovely! We're going to walk to the lighthouse then to the hotel for our 8 o'clock cava.

No Bible in Hotel Rooms in Catalonia


One of the things that you can't find here are bibles in the top drawer. The Gideons (?) usually find all hotel rooms in Australia and put a bible in it.

Ebro Delta = Rice Fields


So green and lovely. Flat and perfect for bike riding. We're soon at our hotel.

Summer Roads - Going Home


One of the typical sights on the road in summer are cars filled to the brink with house hold goods and Moroccans or Algerians going home for the summer. They come from mainland Europe fully packed to the top. Reminds me a bit of Easter holiday time in Australia.

Happy Summer Evenings!


Everything was very good today. Perfect weather, great company, cold drinks and yummy vegetable chips. Yay Granollers! Oh, and the sales started today so what could be better?

What You Looking At?


People stare at you. Men and women stare at you on the street, on the train, in restaurants. Some times I feel like saying 'what the hell are you looking at?', but more often than not, I just ignore it, or smile if I feel uncomfortable, and on fun days, I say Bon Dia.

Norwegians in the Porxada!


The Granollers Cup has attracted lots of blonde Norwegians to Granollers! The local boys are going crazy. Heia Norge!
