Back from 5 days walking the Cami de Ronda, a glorious 50 miles of beaches, forests and coves interspersed with small scale off the beaten track seaside towns. Fueled by truly amazing Catalan food - there was not a dish that was not bursting with taste. Made extra special by the warm welcoming and really helpful and thoughtful people. It was interesting revisiting the area from a previous long weekend a couple of years ago, walking into and out of spaces changes one’s previous understanding of the area. The whole trip was truly special. Ending via Palafrugell (didn't manage to get to the cork museum this time) and then Girona which has all the elements of an ancient Spanish city – stone, sound echoing/deadening streets, fortified buildings and huge churches. The gloriously timed rituals of eating and drinking are in place and exercised - I will never tire of the 10:30 small beer or starting an evening meal at 9:30 after a siesta.
