On to Barcelona



(Back from Spain.  We didn't have internet the last leg of the trip so I am post-trip blogging now) 

We depart for Barcelona tomorrow. Rota was a placid getaway, since it was in the off-season, the beaches were quiet and the overall area was pleasent to navigate. I managed to catch the sunset over the Atlantic each evening and it was spectacular.

Each night, we also managed to eat roasted chestnuts from the corner street vendor. The absolute best; people would just gather around the cart each night and wait for the chestnuts to finish roasting over the strange-looking (I think homemade) coal-fired, tube roaster.
