<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A 590 km drive to the town of <i>Sabiote</i> for our first overnight stay. The hotel was in the far north-east corner of the town right next to the 13th century castle with some magnificent views.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We chose to stay in this hotel from a wide selection of "activities" which was a present from our good friends Carmen, Raúl and Ariadna for my birthday last August and a very good choice it was.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because the funicular is still under construction and the hotel is built on the mountainside, the only way to the top, the restaurant and reception area, is up the steep steps. Therefore, a "taxi" service had been provided in the form of this Fiat Panda which could negotiate the very narrow "roads" with seemingly impossible curves driven by a team of 3 expert drivers. Note the "modifications" to the car around the wheel arches!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year we booked Margaret's birthday weekend at <i>Peñiscola</i> just as we did last year. We booked it months ago and little did we realise it was also Easter weekend.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also didn't realise that we were booking a different hotel, this time the <i>Peñiscola Palace,</i> all we knew was that it had a spa.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They've made some changes since last year. Above is the reception area which used to be very busy but with the new seating it seemed rarely frequented.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The gardens are an oasis of peace and tranquility just a short ride from the bustling and often hectic tourist destinations nearby. No coachloads of people are admitted...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also on the list of "must do" is the walk along the front at Puerto Rico. Each year I count the steps on the pathway down, it's the same number of steps but I always end up with a different total - this year it was 635...</span><br />

Margaret pointed out that the "flow" of the mosaic reminded her of the work of <i>Van Gogh</i> but that was towards the end of his life when he was a little unstable. Say no more!</span><br />
