At the end of September 2019 we 🙋♀️🙋♂️ went on a big autumn trip in the 🚐💨 box van via 🇫🇷 France to 🇪🇸 Spain. In total it was 🛣 3,860 KM in 20 days.
Our journey begins with a detour to the Alsace metropolis of Strasbourg during a bike tour along the 🇪🇺 European Parliament. We continue through Provence with a visit to the former ⛪️ papal city of Avignon and along the Costa Brava to the Costa Dorada with its Ebro Delta and its 🌾 rice fields.
In Tortosa we get a good impression of the ☪️ Moorish influence and discover the monasteries ⛪️ Escaladei and Poblet in the hinterland of Catalonia.
It goes back via 🇫🇷 France with the 🏰 medieval city of Carcassonne and Nancy and its classicistic baroque.

Today we visit the papal city of Avignon in the heart of Provence with the Gothic papal palace "Palais des Papes" and the landmark "Pont d'Avignon" on the banks of the Rhône. The city wall, which is still completely preserved and completely surrounds the old town with a good 4 kilometers, is one of the best-preserved complexes in Europe. Its origins go back to the 13th century.

Balcón del Mediterráneo
Tarragona (140,000 inhabitants) is worth a visit. In addition to a Roman amphitheater, there is a lot to discover in the narrow streets of the old town. If the conditions are ideal, you should be able to see Mallorca from the Balcón del Mediterráneo, which we think is simply a myth. After a detour to the market, head along the Rambla Nova to the Monumento de les Castellers.

Along the fine sandy beach, in the middle of the dune landscape, there is a kilometer-long boardwalk along the sea. A group trains in kite surfing at the local school.

Streifzug durch das historische Tortosa
After crossing the Ebro Delta, we leave the coast and drive along the Ebro to Tortosa. As we stroll through historic Tortosa, we discover Franco's memorial to the Battle of the Ebro and climb the Castell de la Suda fortress. The sweaty climb is worth all the effort. The view of the cathedral and the lower town is spectacular. The Islamic-Moorish influence is particularly evident here. It goes down through the former Jewish quarter to the Teodor González Park, where the elderly play petanca (boules) in the afternoon.

Stellplatz in Reus, Spanien
We are drawn back to the Costa Daurada: soak up the sun for the rest of the year! On the way back we make a stop in Reus. Our parking lot is in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city center and we arrive in Reus right at rush hour. In the evening you can walk through the Art Nouveau and Gaudí metropolis.

Gaudí-Metropole
In the morning we explore the Routa del Modernisme along Plaça de la Llibertat, Plaça de Prim to Plaça del Mercadal, where the City Hall (Ayuntamiento) stands. Around the turn of the century (18th/19th century), rich merchants had magnificent houses built in the modernist style. The pioneer was Antoni Gaudí, who was very popular at the time, and his students and comrades-in-arms.

Historisches Katalonien
Perpignan was once part of Catalonia and Catalan is still spoken here today, as the identity associated with it has not been given up for a long time. The most beautiful thing about Perpignan is the past, hence the charm of decay. We climb “La Terrasse” on the fourth floor of Galeries Lafayette and catch a glimpse of the sights that surround us. A stroll through the winding streets of the old town - and with a few well-intentioned tips we reach the cathedral.
