Climbing in Siurana Part 2
Caught the train from Barcelona back to Reus and was picked up by Matthieu and team Swiss, and Sasha from Russia, whom I think had been adopted in my absense. We stopped at a wine Co-op in Cornudella, bought a 5L plastic bottle of red wine, and headed back towards Siurana.
We camped in a pullout along the way to Montsant. We woke the next day to cloudy, cold and rainy weather. Luckily the area where we went to climb ...
Climbing in Siurana Part 1

More Santa Tecla
... for the early part of the day and we weren't expecting James or Tony & Kay to be up and about soon, so we went for a walk to perhaps see some areas we hadn't been to before. We wound our way fairly randomly through Tarragona's streets, slowly heading up hill until we finally intersected Rambla Nova, quite a long way down (or up) near the castellers statue where we spent an amusing few minutes trying to get a photo of the work without people in it. It's a popular location ...
