A damp start to the day so bus into town I think I will write a book called a Busman’s Holiday I don’t know if it will turn out to be a comedy or a horror? WHAT 50€ NOTE FOR 2 people ####
Even this statue seems unhappy today.
You need to be well travelled for the next picture it took me over 100,000 miles to come across a Q without any people there?

Scary bus ride into Villanova for coffee cake and shopping back to the site for lunch.
After lunch decided I enjoyed the cycle along the beach promenade yesterday so down to Cubelles on to Cunit and up to the Port de Segur de Calafell a super ride with some interesting things.
Notice a beach front camping car site at Cunit and a Port stop over place for camping cars at Calafell.
Graffiti all over Spain todays collection.
A lovely cycle glad I pushed the boundaries and went that little bit further.

Up early for another hand washing day weather good.
Cycle out to Sitges today first thing on the way this Churros van always amazes me over the years by the size of the que there must be 50 people waiting at 1000.
No coffee as most of the cafes busy so back to the site for lunch. After lunch another cycle to Cubelles and further along the beach towards Castelldefels a new place for me love the avenue of trees some interesting ones.
Back at the site its the usual New Years Day Party time for some of the campers.

Caught an earlier bus this morning down what I thought was a street I had not been down before but turns out I have many years ago remembered this chimney.
Created in 1896, this factory operated during the golden years of the Catalan textile industry, specialising in the production of cotton and wool. There were mechanical looms, looms for corduroy, machines for starching, machines for spinning and even areas for dyes and woven fabrics. It was a Modernista-style building, which had an exposed-brick outer wall with geometric decorations.
This chimney, standing in the square which, since 1998, has been called Can Galta Cremat (the factory’s nickname) is the only element that has been preserved.
In the afternoon a cycle again to Roquetes via the forest trails in Els Colls. Lots of grafitti about today.
Out for a couple of hours then realized why my day started early got back to the site and it started to rain.

Bus into town for coffee tried a different cafe today. If you have been hunting wild Boar and wander what to do with the skin how about this!
After lunch had a short 2 hour cycle down to Sitges a lovely day as you can see. Love the old lamp posts.
I put this house up every year I could live here in Sitges better buy a lottery ticket.
