Our Evening Walk - Roger

Beautiful evening for a walk along the beach!

Sitges with beaches

During the last part of our walk this morning, we ended up at this excellent lookout to show you the town of Sitges along with a couple of it's beaches. We really love this town!

Sitges Church

A close up of the entrance to the big church in Sitges. A beautiful bride had just walked into the church with her hubby to get married. Very cool to see this today!

Typical Street

Breakfast

Breakfast out this morning at a local place called Granja Elsa. This was the place we stopped at the first night. Turns out we picked a good one because it is becoming one of our favorite local hang outs. If we owned a local watering hole someday, it would be very similar to this one! Maybe I'll ask her if she wants to sell it?? :)

Great day at the beach!


We had a great day at the beach (Playa de Rodona) today. While we weren't swimming, we spent alot of time under an umbrella, but the weather was perfect!

From the balcony

An interesting tree that is just off the balcony of our apartment. There seems to be flowers and vines growing in the tree for built-in adornment. And as you can see, beautiful weather here is abundant. I think Sitges might be my our new favorite place in Spain.

Playing while we are away...

We have some great friends looking after Riley while we are away. He is no doubt being spoiled and very well cared for. They just sent us this picture of him happily eating his breakfast.

One of the Beaches in Sitges

Went exploring the different beaches here in Sitges today. There are about 5 along the edge of this small town. The winter population of the town is about 5000, but the summer population is 50,000.

In search of tapas

Tonight we are looking for a good local restaurant, attempting to avoid the tourist spots.

Ah, a great Spanish dinner!


...and at the appropriate Spanish dinner hour (11:00pm). We were happy to arrive in Sitges after a very long travel day. After dropping our stuff in the apartment that we rented, a dinner of authentic Spanish tapas was the FIRST thing on the agenda!
