One day we explored Castello d'Empuries, a short distance to the south of Portbou
 |
| The old town had a moat and high walls to protect it |
 |
| Over this bridge... |
 |
| ...with its quirky tower... |
 |
| ...lies a fabulous little restaurant, Nicole & Tine obviously enjoying their apéritif. |
 |
| Later we visited the Basilica de Santa Maria |
 |
| Narrow streets flanked by imposing buildings are a testament to how important Castello d'Empuries once was |
 |
 |
| A public building proud to be Catalan... |
 |
| ...and evidence of pilgrims passing through. |
 |
| Daniel & Nicole took us to see the Pont Vell, a bridge dating from the 14th Century... |
 |
| ...but floods and wars have left little of the original Medieval bridge. |
 |
| On our way back, what better way to cool off than a dip in the sea at Playa de Garbet |
 |
| Obviously a shadow showing my long flowing locks! |
