Siurana again

Chloe and I went to Siruana again (thanks mom!) and got similarly shut down on climbs again, but it was still pretty cool.

Driving through the streets of Horta was a little less cool
That wall on the right apparently used to be ~20 cm/8 inches further into the street, if you can believe it.    Mel had the whole wall moved as part of the installation of a garage, and if his neighbors didn't love him before, they certainly do now!  I think our car would not have been able to make it.

I went on a beautiful ride up into the Park Natural Els Ports -- as far as the paved road would take me.  It passes shady brooks with kids splashing around and giant cliff faces.  If we ever go back, we need to take the kids up there.
I also found the "Via Verda":  A former train line that had been converted to a bike path!  This was *fantastic*
And goes for 100 km I think.  In fact, there is a local tour company that will rent you a bike and will meet you at one of the old train stations to pick you up and feed you lunch.  Maybe I can convince the kids to do that next time.  Here's some video
