Hola di Catalunya!

Yesterday we went on a birdwatching spotting trip to the Ebro Delta, a huge expanse of wetlands, apparently the 3rd largest in Europe. Lots of herons (grey & purple), little and great egrets, a huge flock of glossy ibis and the first few flamingos of the season, still in their grey plumage, no swathes of pink yet unfortunately. Sadly, not much opportunity for taking pictures. 

In the afternoon we moved on to the town of Peniscola, a medieval town dominated by a castle fortress. We walked along the promenade and spotted this superb sand sculpture. We also took a few minutes as the fishing fleet was coming in to watch them unload their catch ready for the market.

Thanks Moulesy, nice to hear news from further afield and the see the pics too. I'm trying to find my way round a new laptop just now so excuse the short post. Enjoy your holiday, it's the only area of Spain I've visited and that was a long time ago by train. 

Today we've visited Tarragona which has a superb 14th century cathedral, the picture really doesn't do it justice, and the reamAinsdale of the Romans amphitheatre outside the ancient city walls, backing on to the beach.

And then this afternoon we went up to another medieval walled town called Montblanc which has lots of narrow cobbled streets and pretty squares and a huge church surrounded by the most amazing mosaic streets.

A bit rushed there!It'seems time for dinner. Tomorrow we head inland and up into the mountains to a town called Sort - not sure about WiFi there so it maybe some time before the next instalment! 

Glad you're  enjoying your trip so far. Cambrils is a must stop for us when in the area, its lovely in the springtime with the blossom on the trees. Tarragona is another day out for us. Haven't  been to Peniscola yet! Enjoy.

Great photos moulesy. Sounds like you are having a great time.

Wrong time of the year but I love the Jacaranda trees in May. Murcia has a load of them lining the river.

Thank you for a reminder that it is still summer somewhere out there!

Enjoy the remainder of your holiday Moulesy, keep the photo's coming.
