Last month Roman and I embarked on our annual (if this is only the second time we've done a big trip like this can I still call it an 'annual' thing?) 2 week holiday/roadtip. For the longest time I've had my sights set on going to Portugal again but we booked too late and ticket prices soared.
After some moping around on my end, we settled on traveling to Spain instead. After Roman's big trip to Mexico in November last year he's been very driven to learn Spanish. That feeling of wanting to hold on to a place that's become special to you by learning a language, just for another chance to get your tongue tied over those unfamiliar words again, is a feeling I know all too well.
Anyways, onwards to Spain.
Roman and I have two completely different styles of traveling. While I like planning ahead and optimising time, he enjoys spontaneity and adventure. For this trip we wanted to find a balance between the two in terms of activities but where we decided to go often wasn't planned until the evening before. The only thing we knew before we started was 1. We land in Barcelona 2. We want to go to the Pyrenees then France by way of Andorra 3. We fly back to Berlin from Barcelona 4. We also knew we wanted to drive along the coast at some point.
In the end, our trip looked something like this: Barcelona - Sitges - Gratallops - El Vilosell - Pasarelas de Montfalcó (hiking) - Toulouse - Narbonnaise en Méditerranée Natural Regional Park - Gruissan - Collioure - Fageda d'en Jordà, Olot (hiking) - Figueras - Cadaqués (hiking) - Olesa de Bonesvalls - Barcelona
