Torredembarra: Inside Calalunya.

The day didn't start well.


After a difficult night we are awaken by the rain.
Then we only find a cheese sandwich as breakfast.
Finally as we start cycling,
my right knee starts hurting.


We arrive at Torredembarra
from where I call Anne, depressed.
I'm talking about taking the train
if my knee does not get better.

As I rest Speed finds the restaurant Riu-Rau (64 00 13)
which save our lunch (and maybe the day).





The 1.100 pts menu includes:


Amanida Verde (mixed greens)
or
Suc de Tomaquet (tomatoe juice)
---
Paella
or
Ensaladilla (big salad with cream sauce)
---
Mar-Montanya (sole I think)
or
Llenguado (chicken in greasy sauce)
---
Dried Fruits and Nuts with a shot of Port wine (this is incredibly good)
or
Flan
---
wine or whatever you want to drink.


We rest on a park bench until late in the afternoon.
No one disturbs us...


Ride to Coma Ruga
where we decide to rent a room
and get a good night sleep.

I am very careful with my right knee.
It does not hurt but I feel
that if I asked more of it, it might.
