Begur and L'Escala/Montgó

I (Andy) was awake early, like before 7, which used to happen regularly at home but hasn't happened nearly as much on this trip. Fresh air and exercise does wonders. Anyway, I left Sara in bed and walked to the viewpoint overlooking L'Estartit. Lovely.

Then breakfast - porridge, seeds, peanut butter and fruit - as always!

Then we decided to visit Begur where we had a lovely couple of hours visiting the castle, the church, a few (up-market) shops, and a museum followed by a proper tapas lunch that was delicious.

After lunch we drove to Illa Mateua Càmping Resort at L'Escala (though we think it is closer to Montgó, which is a lovely little bay). It's about 30 minutes up the coast from where we were.

We have booked in for two nights.

We stopped off at a camping shop on the way. See if you can spot our new purchase in the photos. Let's just say it takes us up in the world!

Ham, eggs and patatas bravas for tea, which is the closest we can easily get to ham, eggs and chips on our little camping stove!

Weather not great today but looks better tomorrow. We decided to walk around the headland to keep warm before tea and it turned out to be further, and higher, than we expected but had some great views.Read more
