Costa Brava!!











This past week has yet again been nice and hot, about 38degrees most days!!So I have been heading to the beach or biking to the local outdoor swimming pool most days! On Tuesday night I went out to a typical Catalonian Celebration dinner. We had the traditional Catalonian dish of Rice and peas and mini prawns and olive oil and also a zuccini omelet followed by melon for dessert. Was delicious!!!They also played some typical Catalonian music which was cool.


On Thursday night I went into the town and saw a outdoor concert that was pretty cool. It stays light until really late here so things such as this are really common and its still so warm!!


On Saturday some of the locals took me out to the local hotspot up the river. It was really nice and was a sweet place to hang out. They then took me to Costa Brava which is up the coast towards France. We stayed the night in a place called EmporiaBrava which was amazing!!It was quite a tourist town with an amazing beach and really nice town. The town had canals running through it and had houses lined along the canals, it looked very luxurious!!Although the beach was a bit too packed with people. On the Sunday we drove along the coast and stopped off at a wee beach cove that was really nice and much more deserted!You could jump off the rocks and the water was so nice and clear. It was like something in a magazine!!


We also stopped off at a skate park as the guys I was with needed their adrenalin fix, I am not so talented on a skate board yet...but I am sure with time ill be dominating it:)
