Rob's World

Week (& a bit) away to the Spanish med. coast.

Rubbish weather at home, so let's go to Spain! grin Fantastic lunch in Ainsa en route to the Med. Nom, nom, nom!

Vilaplana church. Great ride from the Med through villages like this, forests & climbs. Perfect weather. Love it!

Beach-side apperos/dinner. Fried anchovies for me but ordered paella for 2 in error so had to help Pratiwi. Oops!

Starting the weekend right with little Saturday morning stroll on the beach

The Ferreres Aqueduct: wow! Not in bad shape for a 2000 year old pile of rocks! Love that we can walk over it too!

Today's ride: beautiful route from Spanish coast through vineyards, forests, hills & back. Springtime perfection!

Wondering around Vilanova i la Geltru between a couple of brief showers. Nice little town, worth a look if passing.

Somehow we didn't sit at this cafe & order all of this! Hope it doesn't weigh on me as one of my greatest regrets!

Japanese snack in Vilanova i la Geltru. Would swear steak I had couple days back was bigger than this whole tray!

Lunch in Calafell. Windy out today so sitting inside. Awesome 3 courses + olives, wine & coffee. Nom, nom, nom!

Windy walk home on't beach after lunch. Guess who forgot their sunnies? In my defence was overcast when we left

Obligatory cliff edge shots from Siurana. Spot Pratiwi? & a few in the village. Lovely here in spring sunshine

Cliff-edge walk around Siurana. Wow! Reminiscent of Blue Mountains. You know, except for the 900 year old church!

Today's shopping: self grips (light use only!) & few pints of Franziskaner on special. #BlokesAtTheSupermarket grin

Cruising the Prades Mountains. Awesome quiet roads, views from every one. More kays & climbing than Tourmalet loop!

Town square in the lovely mountain village of Prades. Naturally there's an awesome tapas bar here. Nom, nom, nom!

Heading North from Prades we passed mile after mile of beautiful wildflower meadows. A very calming drive

Descent from Bielsa tunnel into France. Welcome home Nice drive up other side in Spring sunshine but no pics. Doh!
