| The road thru the delta |
Following on from Tarragona, we travelled through the Delta de L’ Ebre, a national park with wetlands, paddy fields where they produce the famous Arborio rice originally brought over with the Moors and lots of wild birds visiting for the winter, we travelled along raised roads to a town called Les Muntells on the outer tip of the Delta we stayed for a couple of hours and moved on to our next stop.

Moving on we stayed overnight in Peniscola and went exploring the town on our bicycles up towards the old town where they filmed some of the film El Cid. We stayed in a high fenced camp area behind a hotel. The next morning we left for Morella in the interior. The 65km journey up to Morella at 1000 metres was like a ride at Alton Towers only going up and up, round and round. Eventually we arrived and parked on the camping aire and walked into town, it was a beautiful walled city with a medieval castle on top and a fourteenth century gothic church. We stayed for Menu Del Dia in a little bar on the main street, and we found them very friendly also. I think they were just glad to see somebody as the customers nudged each other when we said we wanted to order food. We may have been their only customers that day.
