Amazed to discover that it's only been about a week since I was raving about Collioure, since then I've seen some jaw dropping sights that make up the Dali Triangle - for those of you who don't know about it it is formed of Cadaques, the fishing village where he lived for over 40 years, the Dali Museum in Figueres and the Castle in Pubol which he renovated and gave to his muse Gala, he then moved there after she died.
(This is Cadaques- unfortunately the photo uploading gremlins are back so will have to post them at another time)
There is so much to see in the Museum- every where you look there's something happening, its just too much to take in and then you go to the Jewels and wow just doesn't describe it. Probably some of the most exquisite designs ever made - I urge you to google them.
The Castle is very different- much calmer but with the occasional elephant on stick legs in the garden as you'd expect- the building and the surroundings are just lovely and peaceful.
After there i dropped into Gerona for a night- would have missed it if Dee hadn't mentioned it- thanks because it was really worth the trip - a lovely medieval town. This area is Catalonia; they are very pro independence so all around are their flags with signs saying We Want to Vote Too in English and Catalan - dont think they stand a chance somehow.
So after all this sightseeing I decided it was time for a rest- well, its tiring this holidaying you know - so have just had a few days stop on a campsite just north of Barcelona. Am heading off again tomorrow to visit Montserrat the spiritual mountain about 60ks from here then will start making my way south to Mojacar as have just realised the date.
Will try and get the photos on, till next time
Hasta luego
