Day 16

Barcelona - Costa Brava (July 19th)

I'm glad that up to this point we had managed to stay clear of big cities. Trying to get out of Barcelona with the 5pm traffic, and a temperature of 38ºC was pretty stressful. They have these huge 5 lane avenues with street lights every 100m and everybody driving all over the lanes, when the light changes there is no way of knowing how many cars will cross on a red light. The whole situation made us pretty irritable, but that changed when we reached the coast and started on this nice road full of curves. We found a small place along the road, overlooking the Mediterranean, were we could park our bikes behind some trees and roll out our sleeping bags. This was our second night sleeping under the stars. We had bread 'n' beer for dinner and enjoyed the view.

Roads: Took the NII until Malgrat de Mar and then the C253. It is this road that is totally amazing, between Lloret de Mar and San Feliu de Guíxols. A definate must.
