Day 445 - 30/11/2014 : Sa Riera looking to Medes

Winter is coming therefore why not remember our beaches to forget the dark and think we will enjoying the sun soon?

Sa Riera is the biggest beach belonging to Begur, located on the North of the village can be reach from Begur by GI-6351 road or having a pleasant walk from Pals beach.

Sa Riera has a beach that is sheltered and particularly popular in the summer months.

You're noted on that !

Day 444 - 29/11/2014 : Independence's gig

A claim for our freedom was held on Camp Nou stadium by June 29th 2013.Lots of Catalan bands, composers and orchestras sang for the country's freedom by breaking the chains with the Spanish state.

It was a gig which lasts more than 4 hours where the crowd filling the stadium didn't give up to sing and create different mosaics about the Indepedence process and Catalonia flag.

It was really moving, gripping and finally was considered one of the highlights during 2013 regarding the Catalan claim after the big human chain held by September the 11th.

Visca Catalunya Lliure !

Day 443 - 28/11/2014 : We are in Festa Major

By our Festa Major in June all the town is well decorated with funny colors, flowers and ornaments but no one building stand out more that the Church.

Two main facts drive to this opinion, first off all 4 Catalans flags are put on the tower around the four squares but the most remarkable matter is the donkey hanging from the bell tower. We are talking about 'Ase Inocenci' which it's the festivity symbol.

The imaginary donkey is hung up until the end of the Festivity where it's gone down carefully.

Enjoy Vilassar !

Day 442 - 27/11/2014 : Vilassar is calling us !!!

It's time to coming home and spend some days in our stunning village, you remember, it isn't? Vilassar de Mar starts the high season during St Joan Major festivity having the most impact on the witches night of June 24th.

The main town's streets as Sant Joan street  turned up to ancient times being dressed as we were in the Indian age creating such an amazing atmosphere.

Definitely our little town deserves a visit, why don't you include in your agenda?

Day 441 - 26/11/2014 : Font's square, bye bye Tarraco !!!

And finally we reached the city's heart, the impressive Plaça de la Font where Tarraco's council is located and the main event from Santa Tecla festivity are held.

It's known to be the place where 'Diada de Santa Tecla' congregates every year the best 'colles castelleres' from Catalonia to start one of the most beautiful journeys around 'Castellers'.

Plenty of life, people walking or taking a rest in one of its terraces, it's the place which every town would like to have.

See you soon Tarraco !!!

Day 440 - 25/11/2014 : Funny house in Tarraco

Looking for our restaurant to have lunch in Tarraco we found out with interesting places. Walking inside the city center we came up with a funny house which had the main wall painted with a Catalan story.

It seemed like a council but it was difficult to understand if it was a true story at all, therefore we made a lot of picture to memorize the meeting.

Is is though to be a representation of the middle age Catalan way of life, but we weren't able to confirm that.

It's really gripping !

Day 439 - 24/11/2014 : Tarraco view from Castle of Pretori (Praetoriem)

We are close to finish our Tarraco tour, do you think it has been worth it? I think so, it's a mix of ancient culture, magnificent monuments and nice views.

One of the last panoramic pictures we took from Tarraco was on Pretori's terrace. Pretori is one of the most remarkable buildings in Tarraco, being dated on the First Century and preserving its history until reaching our days.

The tower offers fantastic view from the city and above all from the Cathedral, therefore it should include in all the visitor lists.

Enjoy !
