The Tortosa and the Hare
A princess for a night
Dad told us that there would be a surprise stop on the way back to Barcelona. So when he told me it was Tortosa I thought he had blew the surprise. No. The surprise was a freaking castle.
The GPS kept saying "u-turn" but Dad ignored it, and our own protests, and kept driving up and up and up until we reached the …
Peniscola and enchanting fortress town
... squid, prawns, lobster and crab.
It's claim to fame is that 'El Cid' was filmed here. Not that we re-call anything familiar from the film however we enjoyed walking along the ramparts and viewing the North and South beaches from the battlements.
A complete village in a fort and there were several hidden churches surprisingly tucked away down side streets. Also because it is ...
Chrismas Preparations
... but thought it might be too big for our little cooking pot.
Instead we bought some Christmas cheer in the form of some lovely Spanish brandy and some good Rioja.
Kay had her photo taken with Father Christmas but refused to sit on his knee.
The stalls were mostly leather goods and jewelery and some Christmas decorations.

“ 10th century CASTLE parador! ”
Reviewed Dec 15, 2011
I can't believe I got to stay in a castle. This parador chain managed to maintain the castle's charm while keeping it just modern enough for the 21st century guest. While the view from the castle isn't much, who cares! It's a castle.
Great rooms (decor), great breakfast included.
