the deserted beach of Gava Barcelona



A foggy day in Barcelona. We will be in Barcelona for 2 weeks so not frantically rushing to see everything. Today we stayed in Gava where the airbnb is. It is cool around here just on its own. 

Beautiful Aleppo Pines line the streets. We walked down to where you can get a good view of the mountains. The range is the Montserrat mountains. They are beautiful and you can get a view of the details of the mountains about a half mile from here.  

Back to the beach this evening. How can we resist a beach that is 4-5 blocks away and has beautiful sunsets? We can't. Gava beach is 2.3 miles long. It gets 2 millions visitors a year There are lots of bars along the beach. The scene must be very different in the summer. . 

There are very few people on the beach now in the part we are near. Especially today. It is hazy and cloudy, a little chilly.There are fisherman here with very tall poles.

I've never seen ocean fishing so it's interesting. These guys come with a zip case with parts of the fishing pole. It's starts wit a stand that goes down into the sand. The fishing pole goes on that once it has been cast. It's a very tall fishing pole. It takes a lot of effort to cast it. I wonder if they catch fish? Didn't see that.

They arrive at dusk which is the best time to catch fish I guess. 

What a great place for people to live: nice neighborhood, the sea blocks away. Beautiful mountain view's. Doesn't get much better.
