Bujaraloz we left today early in the morning. Not necessarily because of the smell that came from the adjoining farm - also because we did not know how long the cooperative has opened in Cervia.
The landscape around Zaragoza to Lleida is not just breathtakingly beautiful. In rain or fog everything looks gray. Many of today's trucks were traveling on the highway. Nevertheless, we were well underway.
drove Near Albi from us for Cervia de les Garrigues. The village lies in the nature reserve "Serra de Prades.
Throughout the year, it has a mild, dry Mediterranean climate with plenty of sun. In the cooperative you can buy the best olive oil. The small olives come from the mountainous region. The olives are harvested by hand and immediately pressed. In the cooperative there is soap made from olive oil, local wine, balsamic, etc. For those interested in the coordinates: 0.86232; 41.42402
Anschließend fuhren wir weiter zum Monastirio de Poblet. Hier gibt es einen schönen großen Parkplatz.
Das Kloster Santa Maria de Poblet liegt in der Comarca Conca de Barberá, zwischen den Ortschaften Vimbodi und Espluga de Francoli, angeschmiegt an die Nordabhänge des Prades-Gebirgszuges. Der Name ist abgeleitet vom lateinischen Populetum - Pappelwald; ein Hinweis auf die schöne, heute von dichtem Mischwald bewachsene Landschaft.
Poblet, eine der bedeutendsten Klosteranlagen Europas, ist von eindrucksvoller architektonischer Konzeption. Die prächtige Klosterkirche ist für die zisterziensische Baukunst geradezu vorbildlich. Erhalten sind darüberhinaus beinahe alle over time created a monastic buildings unusual thirst for action.

the morning it did not look for a sunny day out. The fog shrouded the mountains. Today we drove a route that we have never driven. Our goal was Banyoles, situated northwest of Girona. There should be a nice pitch on a lake. Our route took us to the mountains of Catalonia. The highway leading from Vic through several tunnels. When we came out of a tunnel, the landscape lay before us in the bright sunshine.
We moved mostly over 800 m above sea level. M. As we drove through the Banyoles said parking lot, all parking spaces were blocked. We first suspected that there was a connection with the "Holy Week" celebrating the English extensively. Now we had nothing anderes übrig, als nach einem anderen Platz für die Nacht zu suchen. Wir erinnerten uns an den Platz am Meer, auf dem wir die erste Nacht auf dieser Reise in Spanien verbrachten. Als wir Richtung Meer fuhren, war plötzlich die Straße abgesperrt. Viel Uniformträger auf Motorräder kamen die Straße entlang, dann einige Autos und dann ein ganzer Pulk von Rennradlern. Nun wussten wir auch, warum in Banyoles die Parkplätze gesperrt waren.
