9 June – the road to Granollers

9 June – the road to Granollers

Not a nice ride today. Most of the ride was in heavy traffic.. Negotiating the motorway intersections was painful. Altogether we did 95km.

The start of the ride along the coast to Lloret de Mar was scenic. The traffic picked up from there. We left the coast and headed inland first over some hills. Most of the ride was along the C35.

When we arrived in Granollers we found the tourist office shut and the town deserted. It was around 2.30pm. Individuals told us it would open at 5pm, so we hung around town. Just after 4pm we noticed it was open. Once we had sorted out our accommodation, most of the shops in town were opening and there were more people around.

Our accommodation is near a train station in a seedy part of town. It is cramped but cheap. We are staying two nights so that we can spend a day in Barcelona, traveling in by train.

We went back into town in the evening to get something to eat and found the place packed- walking in crowds at 8pm ( it is Saturday night).
