We gathered this morning for a walk to Portlligat, where the summer home of Salvador Dali is located. After a few pictures and a walk around, some of the group opted to continue on a fairly strenuous hike to the lighthouse at Cap de Creus, the most easterly point on the Iberian peninsula.

This afternoon we took the van and made a short visit to a small local winery. It was interesting, and the location near the highest point on yesterday's ride was very picturesque.
