Dimitris, not sure what to think...

So three days later we left the trails behind us to continue our journey to Barcelona... The ride to Barcelona was pretty chill, just for the last 20 to 30km before we crossed the Spanish border it was extremely windy! 
Once we were in the city of our destination, the search for a place to stay began. We got to a tourist information desk to ask for the possibilities and got left whit a few options, hotel, apartment, hostel or a camping at about 15km outside the city in a village called Gava... Since we were whit a car and didn’t want to spend too much money on a hotel or apartment whit a decent parking space, and we brought along some expensive stuff, like cameras, laptop, bikes,... a hostel wasn’t a very good plan ether. So we went to the camping in Gava and got us a nice place, only 10m between the tent and the beach.
