VINEYARDS & MT VILLAGES
Onwards and into the mountains. First towards Prades - rows and
rows of vines everywhere -cava (sparkling wine) makes this area famous. Then a couple of days of driving through the Prades Mts-ambling driving around all the windy bends -gorgeous scenery - wonderful rocky mountains .
Fortified hillside towns like Montblanc with it’s requisite square and the locals meeting, greeting and eating!-landscape settings so different from the ones we visited in France. - and then we found Villa Engracia in Las Mesies, L’Espluga d’ Francoli-set at the foot of the mts-country lanes leading to other traditional style hotels-like the 1 where we had dinner- part of the Relais de Silence-and I finally managed to get a plate of vegetables! .
　

and the next day as we headed to the coast, another picnbic on the shores of Lake Suriana.
