Sat 15 September

Early morning dip in the sea.  18 € per night with ACSI card at La Gaviotta campsite highly recommended.

30 minutes drive to Figueres to look around the Salvador Dali museum. Parked in a supermarket which allowed campervans and walked a km to the museum. I was drawn more towards the Antoni Pitxot rock paintings exhibited there, than the Salvador Dali paintings. From the crowds there, I think I was in the minority. Worth a visit none the less to view the excessive surrealness of it all!

 On to the Catalan Pyrenees, further 60 minutes journey, stayed overnight in car park in Besalu an attractive walled medieval town with a scenic Jewish quarter. Disrupted nights sleep - traffic and dogs barking!

Catalan nationalist symbols and banners everywhere
