We've been enjoying our time at the seaside taking in the local market, walks along the beach promenade, quai /port , a little daily shopping at the neighbourhood shops for fresh bread, fruit and vegetables for our meals plus just some people watching from our favorite seats at the cafés ... and of course just the changing view from our apartment overlooking the Mediterranean.
This morning's coffee ...
This morning's sunrise ...
My "French" sailor ...
I have to eat one of these before we leave this area ... They are so yummy, I remember them from our time in Collioure ... a Catalan pastry, they remind of Portuguese elephant ears!
Monsieur Honey keeps saying "No, it will bring on a severe sugar attack!" ...
Isn't that what vacations are all about?
Oh yes please some "tomates anciennes" ... We will have to see if we can grow some of these at home!
Look at the size of this one ... I think the seller said it cost €6.90!
Oh these melons were so sweet and juicy ....
A traditional Catalan fish dish .... morue (COD) ...
I know more markets ... but I could go to the market everyday and buy fresh for each day's meals ...it is such a wonderful experience!
Pretty tables ready for the customers ... the quai is lined with many restaurants to choose from, providing various options of menus ... fresh catch of the day, Catalan specialities, pizza, etc.
Where does the time go? We have already been here a week and we will be back on the road Saturday morning for the final few days of this year's adventure.
Our time here has been broken up with a few road trips to nearby villages and towns with my camera working overtime.
I'll be sharing stories and postcards about our road trips soon.
We are planning a lazy, easy day today ... maybe I'll be able to catch up on editing/culling my photos and find time plus a wifi connection to do a couple of posts.
Mission accomplished for today ...
Not too much of anything, lunch at our local café plus just a wander around the port and tonight a beautiful night enjoying some "Rosé" at "La Terrasse".
I'll be back soon with more postcards ...
Hope you've enjoyed your week at the beach, we did!
