On the bike to the beach

The girls went shopping, for coats!! so Tom and I hired a couple of bicycles from the shop in our street. I went for the streamlined black machine and Tom the blue chopper with fat tyres. The plan was to head uphill away from the coast while we were fresh and then coast our way all the way to the beach which we discovered after an hour or so to the north of the city.

The beaches here are impressive, wide in places with white sand which stretched for kilometres back into the city. Cafes on the beach, wifi hot spots, cycle paths, rollerbladers, people playing beach volleyball, large crowds doing zumba, sand sculpture, flying kites, eating drinking, sunbathing. Most bodies on the clothing optional beach were short, round, aged and male so we quickly rode on.

The last night in Barcelona before Morocco. Have booked into La Pepita, restaurant around the corner, Ranked #7 of 4,404 on Trip Advisor in Barcelona. Wonder if it’s as good as the roadhouse at home?
