New boots

I am walking past several long and wide sandy beaches and lots of narrow calas embedded among the cliffs on my way and l meet lots of tourists, mainly French and Dutch it seems like to me.

I note that there are several well-kept camping grounds right at the beach situated in nice  environments with high trees and bushes providing shade and privacy. They also have shops, restaurants, amusement facilities and all the conveniences and distractions that people seems to want. At the end of the day I had to find a couple of new walking boots to replace the old ones because the soles were all worn out.

The beaches are the best and most appreciated attractions of Cambrils, nine kilometers of fine, golden sand, where you can enjoy the wonderful Mediterranean sun. The water quality in unrivalled, as evidenced by the blue flags awarded by the European Union, and the gentle slope into the sea, with calm and shallow waters making this perfect for children.

On the Seafront Promenade you can enjoy, on foot or bicycle, the tranquility and landscape of the Cambrils coastline. (www.universalholidaycentre.com)

Having a rest in Tarragona

When this day was over my beach-bum days also would be over for a while and it was time for me to re-connect with the official GR-7 once more and prepare for the last stages that would take me to Andorra la Vella in about ten days time I reckoned. I had a couple of days off in Tarragona staying at a guest house on top of a restaurant facing the main square. There were tv-sets outside many restaurants and bars showing live matches from the World Cup football tournament (2014).
