Day 142 - 31/01/2014 : Foam party in Carme street

What's up in Vilassar? Are you fool??

We were looking to the sky in a cloudy summer day when we were able to hear some cries from the street in from of us, it was the annual party on July the 16th in 'Carrer del Carme' street.

These quirky neighbors are known to be a little posh and strange (it include some politician in the council) but that what we were seeing was a shock.

A mass of foam was covering the street and people was jumping and enjoying the moment, what do you think we did?



Day 141 - 30/01/2014 : 10th of July 2010, the march begun

Definitely, on July 10, 2010, the march to achieve our independence started in a impressive afternoon in Barcelona.

After a continued denial from the Spanish government of the Catalan rights approved by the Generalitat Parliament (called Estatut) people exploded and more than 1 million invaded Barcelona streets crying for the independence.

After that, the change of Spanish government to Partido Popular fed the process with a sequence of attacks to Catalan rights and culture.

I will say what I think
I will do what I say
When tolerance seems out of sight
We will fight
When liberty seems out of reach
We'll fight for our freedom of speach


Day 140 - 29/01/2014 : Aiguablava cove from the road to Begur

Aiguablava is the Southest cove in Begur and for us is the best from this town, perhaps sharing this privilege with Sa Riera.

Begur is a special town located in a hill having to use a transportation to reach one of their beautiful beaches. Taking the GIV-6532 road you will admire the impressive Begur cape with the turquoise waters of Aiguablava so far, there are some lookout point when you can stop and see quietly.

A suggestion, in the high season you should set off the journey as soon as you can to avoid traffic jam and problems to park, these roads are narrow and steeped and the number of places to park are limited.

But, it's worth to get up soon to enjoy with this wonderful land !


Day 139 - 28/01/2014 : Enjoying Catalonia !

We decided a few years ago to enjoy the summer in Catalonia. After that date we've discovered too many beaches, coves, little stunning tows, definitely we've enjoyed the summer (from July to September) in our country besides to having stay in other beautiful countries as Croatia.

In fact in 2012 we stayed one week in a flat in Costa Brava : it was our first holiday week spent inside our country Catalonia instead to go abroad.

The growth of Catalonia depends on the resources we spend in the country, don't forgot this, we should spend money in Catalonia too to help our companies to growth  and to to achieve a stable economical situation.

Enjoy Catalonia !

Day 129 - 18/01/2014 : Cadaques from the Gi-614 road

The steeped road from Roses to Cadaques is a explosion of beauty when you reach the top, just before begin a quiet slowdown to Cadaques.
From the top you can admire the road merging into the mountains and Cadaques appearing on the horizon. 
Relax and concentrate on your breathing !


Day 131 - 20/01/2014 : Cadaqués cats sleeping

We loved Cadaques for a years ago but we loved too much when we saw these lovely cats quietly sleeping in their home.
Just in front The Cathedral there is a house plently of cats, probably from a protect cat association and we gave some money in a box to help improve the quality of life of these funny animals.
Love the cats !


Day 130 - 19/01/2014 : Great paella in Cadaqués

In Es Baluard restaurant we ate a fantastic paella the second time we visited Cadaques.
It was summer season and the good weather we had invited us to taste it.
The views to the bay and the warm wing completed a perfect lunch !
Why not repeat again?
