7th May 2011

We had a good run to Zaragoza and then to St Antoni De C, about 35k north of Barcelona. Most of the time we were on good dual carriageways, so cruise control on, sit back and enjoy the views! Really great scenery and changes to the landscape, from plains to mountains. Zaragoza is very industrial and the roads around it are just full of a lorries. The campsite we stayed on was fine, a new modern municipal site, but as it’s the only one around it was expensive at 31 euros! As we left Zaragoza we joined the convoy of lorries heading east. The road seemed to drive through miles and miles of industrial estates and then, once we had left these, the towns we came to were very industrial, sitting in the middle of nowhere.

As we got closer to Barcelona we could see the mountains in the distance and joined the toll roads around the city, it only cost 8 euros and was much easier than going through the city like last time. The campsite is on the edge of a small town near the beach with a Lidle and cash machine right by the entrance/exit. The past few days have been nice and sunny, so yesterday we cleaned the van as the cab was covered in dead bugs, did some shopping (6 bottles of wine for 9 euros!) and spent the afternoon sunbathing around the pool.



Today is cloudy and occasionally drizzly, so we made spinach soup for lunch and booked another night so we can see the F1 grand prix in the bar tomorrow, followed by a Barcelona game.
