Vacation 2016 - Day 7, Part 14: The Road to Cap de Creus, Part D

Another batch of photos from Cap de Creus.

It was completely impossible to park near the restaurant at the top of the rock, so we drove back to Es Camel,, parked there, and got out to monitor the area and take some pictures.

Anna and Lea lead the way

Here you can see, why the formation is called 'The Camel'

Very interesting rock formations.
Salvador Dalí has written about the area, which was one of his greatest sources of inspiration:
“This stretch between the Camel and the Eagle, which you know and love just as much as I do, is and must be kept as pure geology, free of anything that could falsify it; for me it is a matter of principles. It is a mythological place made for gods rather than for humans and it must be kept as it is now”.

Found time to buy some laminating pouches today, so now I just have to cut the cards to be ready for my first game!

Another set of pictures from our trip to Cap de Creus:

Is that a barge with Captain Aubrey coming to pick up Stephen Maturin

A cave...?

We passed 'Es Camell' on the way and a quick shapshot was taken.

After lunch, we decided to drive up to the easternmost point of mainland Spain, Cape Creus.

The last part of the trip follows a very small mountain road, and we took a lot of pictures of the - to a Dane - very unsusal landscape.

Vacation 2016 - Day 7, Part 10: Farewell to Empúries, and Luncheon in the Sun

I have been sorely neglecting this blog the last year, and left the summer vacation of 2016 hanging in mid-air, but I intend to bring my holiday memories up to  date over the next couple of months.

I shapped a few additional photos on the way from the Roman city to the exit of the Empúries cite.

On the outskirts of L'Escala is a tourist office with a small parking lot and some nice palm trees. We parked there and had our lunch in the shadow of one of said palms.

A view of the hills - without the cars,
one could almost see Sharpe and his Chosen Men emerge from the shrubbery...
