L'AMETLLA DE MAR, SPAIN. A SUNDAY LUNCH.

L'Ametlla de Mar, Spain. We are adapting quickly. It's Sunday and that means only one thing! 

Here we mix it up and order the noodle version of Paella, Fideua.

L’AMETLLA DE MAR, SPAIN.

With the Weather Network E’spana forecasting some nasty weather, even by Canadian standards, we've decided best to leave Morella. Rather than snow slide, we would prefer to aquaplane into some historic thousand year old hacienda. 

We’ve been planning our destinations based on numerous suggestion and recommendations. Here we just looked for any small place on the coast. Google earth helped us find a village centred by a pier and harbour. Seeing what appeared to be fishing boats, we’re off to L'Ametlla de Mar, Spain.

Beautiful as we arrive. It will be the last of our Spanish sol for a while.

The port is famous for tuna fish. Our guess is that this young man fishing with a magnet is after either a gun or a tuna that's swallowed a gun.

We are close to being on the road for one and a half months. We have eased into a comfortable and efficient travel pattern. Evident here in Morella by what we've accomplished in just twenty-four hours. I am of course referring to our culinary achievements but we are being to see signs that we should be moving on. No translation necessary.

MORELLA, SPAIN. STRIKE UP THE BAND.

 

Strike up the band for who doesn’t like a parade. Some of our best sights are surprises. The only problem we have hop-skotching from town to town, district to district is keeping track of which Saint or observation is being celebrated. We will not deny our tourist status, but we sense that at this time of the year we join in with a predominately local crowd.

MORELLA, SPAIN. THE CASTILLO

In trying to adhere to the Spanish customs, I’ll rest between meals. Here Kate goes exploring the Morella Castillo for the both of us. Gracias!

MORELLA, SPAIN. EATING AND GOING TO SHOP FOR THINGS TO EAT. PART UNO.

In Morella just for one night, we waste no time and immediately start eating and shopping for things to eat. Would write more but…………..you know. Quite commonly asked my way: “Sorry to bother you while you are eating, but you always seem to be eating”
