Days 1 & 2
April 11 2010, 12:40 PM
Out of Barcelona a long, flat busy road leads up the coast for about 60km. Camped just before Blanes (camping La Tordera, expensive (€15) and not that great but right on beach). Them the N11 bears off in land and staying on the coast road you are in for a real treat, from Lloret de Mar to Sant Feliu de Guixols. Winding, up and down cliff road with amazing views and not that busy at all. Lots of cyclists and motorbikers out today enjoying the Sunday sun. Descending to Sant Feliu found a lovely little quiet town with a cute beach and promenade so stopped for a paddle. Had intended to push on further and did so but over the first hill was into a horrible busy area full of Nike outlets etc. so turrned around and back to the nice place. Called at the Camping Sant Pol (Lene: highly recommended, it`s just after Sant Feliu) which is one of the best camp sites I have ever stayed at. Plus a discount for people arriving by bike! Winner. It is in the town but you would hardly know it. Grassy with trees and even little wild flowers in the grass. Dead quiet tonight though. After setting up camp went for a walk to the beach and along the headland. Clouds have come in and may be a chance of rain tomorrow.
