This was their first ever visit to Spain and we were able to show them parts of the real Spain which exist around us.
A visit to our neighbouring village of La Fresneda and the ermita were first on the agenda so they could see our village across the Matarraña valley.
One of the most important things when you visit Spain is to enjoy the food. We did plenty of this and lunch that day was at one of our favourite restaurants, Fonda Angeleta in Valderrobres.
After lunch, a walk up to the castle...
...and then a walk around our own village of Torre del Compte.
Next day, a journey through the mountains down to our other house at Vinaròs...
...stopping off at L'Antic Molí for lunch.
We didn't actually have a BBQ, we were just posing...
...but we did visit the harbour...
...and Anne had a paddle in the Mediterranean.
Lunch was at the Hotel Rey Don Jaime in Morella...
...followed by a walk around the town.
Next day, Sunday, a visit to the viaduct which carried the railway from Tortosa to Zaragoza but now is a Via Verde, a walking/cycle track, through the Val de Zafán, ...
...with lunch al fresco.
Our excursion on Monday took us to the Torre Cremada, an Iberican lookout tower built 4 centuries BC where they could signal warnings of possible attack to other communities,...
...the Greenwich Meridian line which passes very close to us,...
...the beautiful ermita of Santa Barbara at Valdealgorfa,...
...lunch at Restaurante Meseguer in Alcañiz...
...followed by coffee at the Parador.
To round off the day, the last supper of the visit. Hopefully Anne and Clive will return as there is much more to see!
