Sitges to Coma-Ruga – We’re On The Final Leg

For your information our final leg is Gary’s left one. All three others are knackered!

We had a really good day walking today. No disappointments, no surprises, great weather and beautiful coastline. We’re relaxed and making a good pace, covering 18 miles from sunrise to sunset.

Another early start with breakfast at 7.30 and off before 8.30. That’s an early start by the way. Sitges was an attractive town and it was nice to walk through it on a crisp and bright morning.

Last night Gary was feeling a bit under the weather.

But this morning he was up for the challenge.

Sitges is a classy place.

It was great yomping through it. Passing the Passed.

The road along the seafront eventually expired and we had to choose whether to go inland or stumble on the very rough cobbled shore. SHORE!!!

And it paid off. We cut a big corner and ended up alongside the main Mediterranean coastal railway line. But at least we’d found the Polish flag way-markings for the GR92 again.

The track meandered on and off the side of the rail-line. Down towards the sea and then back to the iron horses. Which passed us frequently at high speed and hooting their hooters! Hoot hoot! A bit like that.

The coast was lovely.

It got tight at places between rail and sea, until at one stage we looked at each other in a little disbelief at the size of the drop if we slipped. But we made it without incident.

As the day wore on we found ourselves on a very long promenade stretch, covering maybe ten miles. This was a blessing as it was by now very warm and we needed an open stretch to allow the minimal breeze to flow up our shorts. Ooer missus!

The worst thing about Catalonia is the graffiti, even on historic buildings. Absolute disrespect for humanity. Gary and I would put them down for life to deter others.

A metal bull sculpture graced the seafront, below a flying saucer.

The views were great.

It was so uplifting after previously grim days. We found a cheap hotel, checked in and walked miles in the dusk light to find a really great, value restaurant. Steaks all round!

Tomorrow is our penultimate perambulation.

Night night.
