On 03.01. we went from Barcelona to Figures, visiting the Dali museum. Nice to watch, but unluckily much of his famous work is not to be found here. From Figures we continued to the medieval city Girona. Chruch bells welcomed us when we went through the old town and climbed upon the castle. Great atmosphere in this city! After enjoying the old center we found a Pintxos bar (Basque' tapas) and had an amazing dinner :D
For our second trip out of Barcelona (05.01.) we followed Eva's (Benni's flat mate) suggestions. From Barcelona to the volcanic region around Olot. Especially scenic Santa Pau was great. For lunch we stopped at Banyoles before we continued to the coast. With the Pyrenees in sight to Sant Pere Pescador and then the beach of L'Escala. An awesome sunset led us to Pals... never seen such a violet sky!
At the end of the day we watched Epiphanias (welcoming the three kings) in Begur. Caspar, Melchior and Baltasar, dressed like SantaClauss, rode into the city with a hord of Saracens... a speech at the church was held by them before the kids followed them with lampions through the city.
A great finish for our winter trip to Spain :)
