A slow day today

We are on our trail today, completely and utterly unprepared we set out on a route starting with the nude beach. Very little activity and mainly geriatrics displaying their bits to the world at 9 am on a saturday. Following some nice tracks right along the beach we ended up climbing a fair bit in direction nuclear plant.

Crossing the high-speed railway track which is in development, the AP7 motorway as well as the A7 Motorway uder construction we ended up in some rough terrain. A tad difficult to navigate through tracks with very rough gravel, and after one slight incident we decided to get the hell out of there. We schlepped our bikes onto the new A7 which is not yet opened and headed back in direction Hospitalet with the intent to go to Cambrils for a coffee break. After a while we saw the highspeed railway track which is currently being built connecting Barcelona with Valencia. We found a large enough hole in the fence, drove through it and were headed to Cambrils at a high speeds.

It got a little boring after a while, so crossing a dried up river bed we decided to pierce through the nearest hole in the fence, and made our way to the coast.

That is where we are now, enjoying a cofee and sandwich right at the beach front in the sun.

Later more on this slacker route that we are on today, which includes but is not limited to many half hearted attempts at getting fit for the Camino. (Frans made me use that phrase, sorry...)
