From one sort of 'mad' to another
... left Figueras and headed toward the most eastern point of Spain to see the lighthouse, where we had lunch before returning to the fishing village of Cadaques and to the home of Dali.

We were supposed to get it at 1030am so we left Alex's house in time to get there, on the way though we got the text saying that the people who had it before us parked it illegally and it had got towed and sent to the municipal something or other.
