And so this was a glorious day for the celebration of mass at the ermita de la Virgen de Montserrate, also called the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Fórnoles. (See my blog entries in 2009 and 2010 in May for comparison).
When we first visited the ermita 3 years ago, it looked as though restoration was being undertaken. However, nothing has changed and it looks exactly the same today.
With glorious blue skies and the sun beating down, it was good to stand in the shade of the ermita for the service.
Every year the silver ornament above is carried around the site; it's very heavy!
We had managed to set out our tables in a nicely shaded area...
...and this year, our meal was one of Rosi's perfect seafood paellas. To watch my video giving all the ingredients and showing how to make it step-by-step, click HERE.
It was a lovely afternoon to be in the countryside...
...and to have a chat with friends. Another great day out.
