... long (and safe) route around the outside - it will mean that you can avoid admitting defeat.
The next item of interest is a statue to Lluis Companys, a man who is worthy of a little research, should you feel like doing any, into the history of modern Spain. Beyond this, there didn't look to be much more to keep us going and we'd had contacts from Tony, Kay and James so it was back to the city centre in search of some breakfast for them and some cider for us.
