Travel day #567


 


It was 3 hours from Madrid to Barcelona by train. Beautiful country along the way. It started with the red clay soil with lots of trees and ?grapevines.  Then it became more desert like with what looked like sand and very dark green vegetation and this is where the hills started. Last 3rd of the trip was more red clay and  lush green hills with trees. Mountains in the distance. 

We arrived at the train station and first order of business : where is the bus stop for our bus to the airbnb? Turns out it's right in front of the train station! We are staying in Gava, 45 minutes from Barcelona. There were 31 stops. We got there in less time because it went on highway part of the time and driver went about 50. Stopped right in front of place we're staying. 

We are a 5 minute walk from the ocean in a fancy neighborhood. Beach is beautiful. Sunset was beautiful. Wish we weren't so far from Barcelona but this is really how we have been doing it. Staying at least a half hour outside the city most places. More affordable. 

I could probably skip Barcelona and sit on the beach every day. Of course I won't do that. It was 77 today and sunny. That's a dig at you all. I know you had your first snow.
