Coffee on our little balcony watching the city wake up. A busy Monday morning.
Lovely walk and breakfast in the cool of the morning. Such a great place to stay - modest but so central.
A block from our hostal is Casa Mila, a grand apartment design for a wealthy family at the beginning of the 20th century. The roof space had spectacular views of the city.
Taxi to the railway station, relatively close to L’Eixample. Mark is still struggling with his knee - but wonder of wonders he found a lightweight travel bag WITH WHEELS in a travel store at the station entrance. Yeah! So farewell to his heavy sixteen year old backpack. Welcome to the 90s, Mr Banks! Things are looking up!

Two hour train ride to Sants to L’Espluga De Francoli. Taxi (included) to Poblet.
This is the start of the El Priorat walk devised by an English company, On Foot.
A self-guided walk with accommodation, meals and baggage transfers.
Accommodation is a hotel restaurant
Masia de Cadet
A leafy hotel in a little enclave near the Monastery of Santa Maria of Poblet.
Our room overlooking the wineries and olive groves of El Priorat area. Looking quite dry after a long hot summer.
What a lovely start to the next 8 days.
Now we wait for a drink and tapas at 8.30 and dinner at 9pm. Adapting to Spanish time..
A perfect evening
