We went on a beautiful day and explored the old city, the wall (muralla) and had a lot of fun going up to the top of the turrets!

We managed a couple of short trips, the first being a spur-of-the-moment dash across the border. One day, after lunch, we decided to have dinner in Spain and took off in the car, stopping briefly at Salvador Dali's house in Port Lligat for a photo. Then it was ...
