Week 9.

[Antonio247]

Hello, again, amigos Here I am again. Sorry I haven´t been able to send a post from Barcelona. I tried from the hotel but the internet didn´t work there and I was too busy to look for an internet café. I´ve missed you a lot. Besides, I couldn´t go for a run there. The journey was a bit tiring because we went by car with our son. Last Thursday it was very rainy from Valencia to Barcelona. Fortunately, Manuel- a friend who is from Almería but lives there and has taken part in a lot of marathons was waiting for us at plaza de España and showed us the way to our hotel. Another day, he also took us to Montjuic castle, in a hill he likes going up for a run, where you can have a beautiful view of the city and surroundings. We had dinner at a Galician restaurant where we tried “caldo gallego”, “empanada gallega” and other wonderful dishes as well as red wine. We had a good time in Barcelona although the weather was irregular. It even snowed on Sunday, which is quite unusual so near the seaside but we also had sunny days. We ate a lot of cakes such as “cocas” typical from Catalonia. We arrived back yesterday night a bit tired but looking forward to going on with my training schedule. I´ll try to get back all the training lost.
