Rejsende We visited La Predrera a masterpiece of Gaudi built for a wealthy Pere Mila & wife. Reproduction furnishings.wow . Next a long walk to Sagrada de la Familia only we had to book tickets. After doing so we had a 3 hrs wait so we walked to the famous park , parkGruell named after the cotton manufacturing industrialist. No tickets avail only the free areas so that's what we did. Again all designed by Gaudi. Very nice. Walked bak to Sagrada F. An amazing work in progress . Also the only church I've been in where there are jackhammers going & people praying simultaneously. Fabulousand the colour

We have arrived at the start of our walking trip-Mountains to the Sea. It's raining and 10degC .The hostess is very nice & speaks only Spanish !!
Walked around this ski resort town and it was lovely. Tourism is what keeps this place alive . Renovations of the old stone buildings with copper guttering and downpipes.Læs mere

Setcases to Mollo
12. maj 2016, Spanien ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
A beautiful start to the day with 4deg c and sunshine after the rain and hail yesterday afternoon.Not long after a partial ascent we spotted some deer. Saw amazing views of snow capped mountains to our west. We are going east to France. Lovely cup of tea viewing this part of the Pyrenees. As we approached Mollo we could see valleys and hills but no longer any snow. Mollo has views of rolling hills surrounding it and a few farms with cows wearing bells!! The hotel Calitxo is biggish 2 separate eating areas. Not at all a "family feely" place and much newer than Setcases. Tomorrow a longer walk with lots of possible route finding issues.Læs mere

Friday we set off after taking some of the breakfast salami for lunch. Directions leaving Mollo were confusing. Lovely views and lunch on the border of Spain and France in light hail and rain maybe 4 deg C . Missed going to the tower and walked to Peats de Mollo--- unclear directions. Arrived to the sounds of singing in the square where I sat and dad went off wandering and taking some snaps of the old fortifications. Accomodation 2 star not that good-- curtains didn't keep out the 2 street s lights and no internet.Læs mere

Had no internet last night so I'll talk about the day(sat) now and then Ceret which is what this map shows we're at now . We were in a small hotel at the end of a good day's walking. The hotel Ausseil was ancient sleep was difficult because of the streetlights and the flimsy cream curtains! After a small breakfast we were driven to the top of Le noell to start the day- beautiful mountain peak views with snow .Læs mere

After a buffet breakfast we set off over the bridge towards Reynès and then Ceret . Dad saw a small brown snake on our ascent . It was a lovely day quite hot , but cool in the shade. Very pleasant really .There were still views of snow on highpeaks even being at a lower altitude.Reynes was a mall rural town with just a church. We ate cherries from an overhanging branch on our pathway.Arrived at hotel d'Arcades earlier than any other day and showered, washed socks etc and Ste a picnic in our room. Then we went to Ceret museum of modern art. Saw nice works and some pottery and paintings by Picasso . Dinner is at a Pizza style restaurant nominated by this hotel and breakfast will be here.Læs mere

Ok so after a good night's sleep and a French breakfast of croissant, bread and jams & mandarin with apple juice and coffee we set off in a VW van for the top point to start the walk : about45 mins drive back into Spain. Lovely forest a bit cool so put on our beanies . we took a wrong turn at the beginning of the GR10 so we followed the marks the wrong way. At lunch S got out our GPS . We couldn't place ourselves on the map and about 205 mins later we were having trouble deciding which was the route when 2 French women - a mother and adult daughter were walking towards us. We learnt from them that we were near Le Perthus, back past our starting point . We'd travelled 360deg now going west into more of the Pyrenees . Oh dear it wasn't possible at 230 to retrace our steps to start again. S phoned the help person. She called back after making a call to say we couldn't go back but must walk to nearest town which was lePerthus. She would try to arrange transport from there to Banyuls-Sur-Mer. How disappointing and yet she got us transport ( the young guy who had driven us) to BSM. S gave him 50 euros, even though the agency were not charging us , so a tip for him!! The hotel here has a gorgeous view of the sea but is high up on the hill and tomorrow we must get to the train station to go to Carcassone.Læs mere

After a full buffet breakfast we caught a TAXI to the railway station-4-5km. 11euro worth it.! Station not open before9:30 ie to alter tickets- a nice Indian Frenchman & I talked about the train strike happening today-- fortunately after our scheduled trip. Anyway we were able to leave earlier to avoid a 5 min connection change & also to skip one train change completely. First train SNCFwas comfy and enough room for feet. The TGV was harder to get on- station platform attendant sent us to wrong car& we had to quickly backtrack. It was hard to carry big bags up a spiral staircase to move through an electrically operated door to find a woman in one of our seats. She moved. What was really interesting was while waiting on Narbonneplatform for our TGV we were almost blown off the platform by the goods train! Arrived just after 1 pm in Carcassone and walked to hotel Bastide. An older place , clean 3rd floor- thank goodness for elevator- mind you it wouldn't fit all luggage & ourselves in one go. Visited the medieval town - really nice imagining how the people lived and managed against foreign invaders. Spent an hour at the laundromat too! Dinner yummy made up rolls with Gorgonzola , prosciutto , tomato , lettuce and peeled carrot. Yum and red wine- bed time now. .... Tomorrow we may do a canal boat ride before training on to Nimes for a few days .Læs mere

We had a canal ride on Canal du Midi which was really nice, peacefully travelling along for 1 1/2 hours, through 2 locks. They are extremely good. You feel a bit weird as your boat sinks down below the sides of the canal walls or floats upwards. We then bought a few bits and had a picnic lunch at the park next to the canal. With a couple of hours only before our train we walked to St Vincent's Church- a beautiful place and we paid we thought a donation for its restoration which is ongoing. However it was for going up the tower about a 100steps to an amazing place- well worth it the 360 views were far reaching and the sky was clear apart from the odd cloud. We collected our baggage from the hotel and tramped to the station. Then disaster--- French rail strike all this week from midday to 5. If we'd not done the canna ride but checked the train times we could have got an early train..... Anyway instead of 4:30 we had a train at 6:30. Phoned Nimes apartments with news of possible late arrival . We were fortunate that we had a lovely English speaking Frenchwoman with us both waiting and sitting on the TGV. She directed us to the correct exit at Nimes and we were'nt late. Went for groceries & back, then went for dinner after 9pm. Nothing within an hours walking so back in apartment had bread and jam. Then No water !!!!! A drip & no way to call anyone about it.Also could not get wifi to work . This morning at reception the girl fixed wifi for me and we told her about lack of water and no towels(1 only). Today Rae's son is picking us up and taking us to Pont duGard and lunch back at his house.Læs mere
