It was hard to tear ourselves away from Chulilla, but the desperate need for a rest day combined with an equally desperate need for a shower, and coincided with forecast showers. As it was the showers didn’t materialise, but it was time to start heading home.

We decided to put a few 100km under the belt and drove to the Costa Brava, where the very acceptable Rockamura sits looking out over the Med with views towards snow capped Pyrenees. The climbing is pretty reasonable too, though not on quite a par with Chulilla!
