The last of the palace.

 

[drron]

Now a short walk past the Cathedral into the old town.

 

[drron]

And then began the walk back to the ship.

 

[drron]

Believe it or not this is a sculpture of a bull.

Most of the walk was past a huge marina with lots of expensive yachts.

 

[drron]

For lunch we went to Spaccanapoli for pizzas. Much better than pre covid.









Mrsdrron had the Funghi Porcini and I the funghi E Salsiccia. Both very nice.






Whilst we were lunching there were yacht races going on.

Back to Atlantide. It is our favourite dinner venue.Sat next to 2 delightful divorced ladies. One was born in Adelaide but moved to the USA as a child the other a Canadian. Here the daily menu.

The night's wines.



Both good wines. Mrsdrron began with the beef tartare and caviar whilst I had the Tsar cut salmon which was excellent.

I then had the poached pear salad again very good.


For mains Mrsdron had the salmon and I the beef Wellington. Both excellent.






For desserts Mrsdrron had the pavlova and I the bluebery chocolate crumble. Both good.

And now a walk through the Modern city.

Interesting name for the Cafe

Thursday morning and we arrive in Tarragona. A large port area with the Cruise port quite a distance to the Port gate. No walking to and from the ship here.







Several ships waiting offshore.

 

[drron]

We were off to Mountblanc and the Poblet Monastery. It is not a very scenic city. but a long line of seafood restaurants near the fishing harbour and seafood market.




Then you pass a few kilometres of petrochemical works.

 

[drron]

Fortunately the scenery improved outside the city.





Then we arrived at Mountblanc.

 

[drron]

The main tourist feature is the walled and fortified old city.

 

[drron]

 

[drron]

Very quiet for holy week.




But a market of cheap Chinese clothing in the main Square.





Old ways of measurement in the days it was a real market.

 

[drron]

A little more of the main square before walking to the cathedral.
