Dali, Gaudi & anchovy

Hola!
We're back (again); this time from a trip to Spain. We went the North-East of Catalonia: l'Escala & surroundings and Barcelona.

Too bad that the wind was having a couple of off-days: so no windsurfing for me at the Club Mistral station at the Bay of Roses. We decided to take it easy & relax and drive around a bit instead to visit some surrounding places: Girona, Llafranc, Cap de Creus, Empuries, Figueres etc. Dali was omnipresent ;-)

After 10 relaxing days, we entered Barcelona by car, which is always a big adventure for non-Barcelonians. But we managed it without a scratch! Here is a short list of things to see and do in Barcelona: Gaudi, Montjuic, Gaudi, tapas, Gaudi and once more tapas. And of course many other things :-) Barcelona was super!

After 4 days in what I call the tapas-town of the world we headed for the Codorniu winery for a guided tour and Cava taste session. Unfortunately we still had to drive 1300km that day, so the bubbles had to be limited :-(

Adios!

Windsurf @ Fuerteventura

Aloha! We just came back from a one week island discovery and windsurf trip at Fuerteventura. Here's a quick summary of the experience. As it was end of March, beginning of April, the weather was OK: few clouds, blue sky, sun and wind. As the pictures show: Fuerte is quite rough and you cannot find much green out there, besides the few palm trees in the small villages and at the hotels. If you love rocks, dust, sand and windmills Fuerte's the place to be :-)
For the windsurf geeks amongst you readers, I can recommend the Rene Egli Pro Center in Sotavento as a very good windsurf rental station. I have already some experience with similar surf trips and the friendliness and relaxed atmosphere is definitely a plus here.
