Sa Tuna Sidetrip...

#SaTuna#CostaBrava#Spain

Tuesday ... 

After a good night's sleep and a delicious petit déjeuner at the Fasthotel in Toulouse, we hit the road by 8 o'clock and drove south through France headed for Spain.

Two and half hours later we crossed the Spanish border heading for Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava.

About two weeks earlier a page I follow on Facebook posted a wonderful photo of a location north of our eventual destination.

Below is the photo I took ...

Surprisingly, Señor Honey (while in Spain his name has changed) decided that a sidetrip to Sa Tuna for lunch was in order.

With the help of "Molly" (our GPS) and some navigational assistance from the front passenger seat (that would be me) we finally found the idyllic village of Begur and descended to the bay.

A billboard poster welcoming us in the parking lot ... from here we have yet to see the bay/water.

The photo I took when we reached the bay.


After a stroll through the village down to the waterfront, we settled on a restaurant for our first Spanish meal.


I ordered a tuna salad ... fresh tuna, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, onions, hard boiled egg but no lettuce ... while Señor had grilled sausage and fries.


We completed our meal with Creme Catalan...


We wandered around the bay and narrow cobble stoned streets and walkways ...before heading on to our final stop of the day "Tossa de Mar".
