Today I turn eleven in Zaragoza. In the morning there’s Belchite and long walks. In the afternoon, doggy cake, a candle with the number eleven and a new present. A full day, a full life.
Today I wandered through a town frozen in war, explored a Little Russia in absolute silence and witnessed a free shower that nobody had asked for. We ended up sleeping among pine forests, with history still smelling of old stone.
A steel monster planted by the river, ruins that appear like memories and a perfect end on the banks of the Ebro. Today we travel slowly, with cold, wind and many little ones watching every step.
Today I smelled thousand-year-old stones, crossed dodgy walkways in my arms and survived a dark, muddy tunnel. Thirteen kilometres later I found a perfect place to sleep and plan more mischief.
We set off without a plan, stopped at a cemetery that brings peace instead of fear, and ended up sleeping wherever night found us. That's how the best getaways begin.
Off-road, bends, historic monasteries and breathtaking views: today we're ending the getaway with a day that mixes adventure, history and relaxation in the camper.
A ghost town, a modernist church and breathtaking views? Today we get lost on winding roads and surprising corners.
After more than a month in Berga and two visits to the workshop, we're finally back on the road. It's Constitution Day, the hairdresser's is closed and the camper takes us to a beautiful spot near Bonastre where everything falls into place again.
Hoy papi Edu prueba nuestro dron nuevo en Berga. Yo me quedo en casa, pero las vistas desde 120 metros sobre el pueblo y los Prepirineos son impresionantes y únicas.
Today I'm feeling down: Tom, Uncle Antonio's cat, has passed away. We weren't the best of friends, but we learned to respect each other… and even share the sofa, with social distancing.
An unexpected detour took us to San Miguel del Fai. Monastery, forest, ruins and a path that only a few dared to go down. I did. Daddy Edu too. And that says a lot.
At four in the morning, I got Daddy Edu out of bed for an urgent walk. Then the coffees in the sun arrived, a strange castle and a quiet day in Lloret that surprised me in a good way.
