To sum up this weekend, we were basically beach bums living in a tent.
Friday morning we got on a train bound for the coast. Specifically to a city called Tarragona. Once we got to Tarragona, we bought some groceries and then got on another bus that took us up the coast a ways to a place called La Mora where we had reserved a tent on the beach. The best way to imagine this tent is like a Harry Potter tent, that looks small from the outside but on inside has an entire bed and a kitchen. It was located right on the beach with turquoise water. The first day, it was raining, so we stayed close and checked out the nearby beach and walked out in the water a little.
The next morning, we set out to explore the coastline, we hiked up the coast exploring all the beaches and coves we came across. The weather was incredible, and we spent lots of time soaking in the sun and snorkeling in the coves looking for fish and sea creatures. I tried to do a little climbing but the rock was too sharp, but we did jump off a cliff out into ocean at Cala Waikiki.
On Sunday we hiked around a little bit more and then found a bus back into Tarragona, and went to church. We had some time to kill afterwards, so we ate lunch, and then walked along and swam at the beach right in front of the train station while we waited for our train to arrive.
We took the scenic route back to Zaragoza. The train ride took around 4 hours, and passed through the beautiful countryside of Spain and through many small towns and offered amazing views of the mountains and hillsides. Eventually we made it back to Zaragoza and back to our residence.
