Birthday lunch and Paüls

It has been a very busy, but most enjoyable weekend this weekend. It really started on Friday when we celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary with an outing to Benicarlo for the day. On Saturday we had the womens' lunch followed by the "Lina Morgan" sketch and Andrea's art exhibition in the evening. On Sunday we saw the contemporary dancing at Valderrobres. To finish off the 4-day weekend, we have celebrated my birthday by having a day out to Tortosa for lunch then to the village of Paüls, (pronounced Par-uulz), in the afternoon.

Wot, no chips!

Paüls is tucked away in the mountains or Els Ports as they are known, 9 km from the main road. It is not a village you go through because it is at the end of the road! However, it is certainly worth a visit as it is so picturesque...

...and the view from the top of the village is amazing.

It is also very tranquil with only the sound of goat bells clanking in the distance.

On the way back, on the other side of the mountains, I couldn't resist taking this view, or rather 3 views, which have been stitched together. Breathtaking scenery at it's best!
