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 ...

And why a cake? I've no idea - but nearly everybody likes cake.
I don't suppose it is possible to bake a single cake 75 metres long and this was of course lots of ...
More Santa Tecla
... br> There are very few obvious ways down to the beach from Tarragona because of the location of the railway line. There seem to be a few footbridges or underpasses missing, so we had to walk well past the station to find our way by a slightly circuitous route back to the centre. A small park on the way holds an unusual gold-painted sculpture and some nice trees.
We'd hoped to have a look inside the Casa de la Festa but it was closed to visitors so we earmarked it for a ...
