This morning we only cycled a couple of miles to Alcanar as they had a market, which actually turned out to be only half a dozen stalls but we had a wander around, found a great fruit and veg shop (basically someone selling it out of what looked like an empty garage). I have noticed …

I suggested that we cycle to Benicarló this morning for the market. It’ll be about 10 miles I said. Well, it was a tad more than that, 27 miles there and back. We were on cycle tracks, side roads, main roads, footpaths, in and out of housing estates, always trying to stay near to the …

Paul took Lottie out, was gone for ages, came back and announced it was one of the best dog walks he’d ever had, all along the coast. After hanging up a washing load to dry, we set off to cycle to Sant Carles de la Ràpita, a fishing town to the north of us. I …

Said goodbye to our English neighbours this morning, they left just before us, a lovely couple, very down to earth. They’re actually only going about 10 miles down the road from us. A short while later we left Camping Ampolla Playa, and headed for Camping Estanyet, stopping off at a Mercadona on the way. Each …

We woke up to sunshine – hurray. We decided to go for a cycle ride and try and find some flamingoes, so followed the sandy path/road that runs alongside the edge of the rice fields and has the sea the other side. It was a really lovely ride with beautiful scenery. Big birds, little birds …

A no news day today I’m afraid. We had rain this morning so I got into a good book. It did clear at lunchtime so this afternoon we took Lottie for a long walk along the beach at the edge of the water with the ball thrower. It was great, Lottie loved chasing the ball …

Quiet day today. I wasn’t in a hurry to get up and neither was Lottie. The weather forecast turned out to be wrong and we had rain this morning. After lunch we cycled to a nearby village, I’d like to say it was very pretty and interesting but it wasn’t. It was a very rural …
Thursday 12th September
Lovely sunny day today, the wind has almost completely died down. I was feeling much better than yesterday, just had a thick head – like a hangover without the pleasure of the drinking beforehand. We needed to stock up on a few things so I said we’d cycle across the rice fields to the Lidl …

Wednesday 11 September
Unfortunately I developed a migraine last night so had to go to bed really early. Had an interrupted night as the cystitis had me up several times tripping to the loo – double whammy, cystitis and a migraine. It started raining in the night and carried on all morning so I had a long lie …
