Down and Around We Go....Ole starting with number 1.

So we arrived in Spain on the 20th September and as you can see from our route we have made the most of our time in this country so far. As at the 19th October we have stopped in 9 different areas. So the stops from 1 to 9:

1) Sant Pere Pescador. A small town just inside the border. The main industry in this area is fruit in particular apples. Our campsite was sandwiched between the surf and Royal Gala apples. The large open beach was a mecca for kite surfers. The campsite was also near a bodega and a tapas house which was fantastic. 

A short walk along the beach and you arrive at the coastal town of L'Escala and just before lie the ruins of the ancient Greek colony of Empúries, founded in 575 BC. This is where wine was first imported from Greece into Spain. We stumbled upon a great wine shop owned by a chap from Newcastle, unfortunately he was unwilling to sell any of his Newcastle Brown, so we just got some great reds.
