Overland to Spain 2010: Llançà

There were some electrical storms in the distance towards Barcelona during the night, but they never reached here. By morning, the light rain had cleared and I managed to capture the sunrise about 0630. After breakfast, we walked along the coastal path into the port of Llançà. It's a small town, but busy with the usual chaotic and congested streets, typical of many Spanish towns. There is an old town further up the hill which we've yet to explore. After buying some souvenirs, we headed back for some lunch.

The sun hits our balcony in the morning, but after lunchtime it passes overhead. It's not a bad thing, since there is no temptation to sit for hours in strong sunshine. The room is also kept pleasantly cool in the afternoon.

This afternoon we walked back up the coastal road towards Colera and Portbou. Whilst there isn't anything up there apart from villas and apartments, it does provide a nice view over the bay looking south. In the distance, we can see the Cap de Creus with the town of El Port de la Selva. On the other side of the peninsula, although out of view, is the Bay of Roses.

Tomorrow, we plan to take the car out and head up to Colera, and then out to the Cap de Creus, to explore the seaside town of Cadaqués.
