SUMMER VIBES: A MORNING IN LA COSTA BRAVA

‘After a storm comes a rainbow’
The few last weekends weren’t what were supposed to be.
If you’ve ever been to Barcelona (and even lived here) you will know that when the warm weather comes in, everyone is out in a terrace having ‘tapas’ and beers (or Sangría) and laying down in a beach by the sun. But this time, May has been pretty grey and cold and has taken some weeks to get to that beloved point; but finally, last weekend was THE weekend.
We didn’t thought it twice. Hop on the car and Saturday Sun Roadtrip Time it was. Hit the road to Costa Brava and there was no turning back.

Despite forgetting the swimsuits at home because our first plan was to go for a walk on the Camí de Ronda -recommended lovely hiking path that goes by the shore- and not touching the water even once, we had a blast of a day. Our destination of choice was Blanes and its Marimurtra Botanic Garden with a Fideuà for lunch at the only restaurant in front the Cala de Sant Francesc.

Song of the day was Al Mar by Manel
