Heading northwest into farm country

I collected a couple of maps at the tourist office in Tarragona and soon established that it would be a good idea to follow Cami de Sant Jaume (GR-172) to Santes Creus to reconnect with GR-7. Cami de Sant Jaume (Saint James) starts at the main cemetery in Tarragona and moves mainly through farmland. I was lucky to find a place to stay in Santes Creus. Almost all restaurants and guest houses in Spain closes either completely or closes very early one day a week to give the staff some time off and the only guest house in Santes Creus did just that, closed early, on Sundays. But I got a room and something as odd as an early dinner 🙂 before the innkeeper called it a day, passed me the code to the front door and then went on his way.
