Barcelona to Delta de L'Ebre


Finally, I got moving again. It´s hard to believe that we´ve spent almost a week in Barcelona. During this time we saw Monica and Jaume quite a bit, and Kevin Murphy came from Berlin for a visit. We went out to eat with him at a fantastic restuarant that Monica suggested. It´s like a fish market where you go in and pick out your fish and they cook it up for you.

So, finally I packed up my bike again and headed west towards southern Spain. My first stop was the delta de l'ebre which is just south of Tarragona. I thought I was going to camp, but when I got out there the campgrounds were closed for the year. So, I started moving back from the coast through the small towns looking for a hotel, but everything was closed. Finally I came to a road that ended at a ferry. I asked someone in line if they new of any hotels and he told me to cross with him on the ferry and he would show me one. BC Ferries take note, the crossing cost .50€. But, it was just a little river crossing. The hotel was out in the boonies, but it was really great.
