http://www.ratb3rt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/IMG_7167-300x200.jpg
Tarragona I scooted down the coast from Figueres in the rental car, past Barcelona, and on towards Tarragona. Described in the books as an old city, full of Roman ruins, it seemed like a good place to go after the …

A European interval – Barcelona and beyond
http://www.ratb3rt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/IMG_6944-200x300.jpg
