more fino

Another place where we stopped for a fino (this became quite a habit!) An old favourite, Hostal Empuries, near the roman site at Empuries. The building dates from the 20's and the interior is an elegant mix of beachy scrapwood and contemporary design. On a good day the view stretches over the dunes across the bay towards Cadaques. Altogether a gentler place than the Parador at Aiguablava, but these contrasts are what I love about this part of Spain.

hello again

Hello neglected blog! I have just got back from a short break in Spain where I actually saw the sun!
We spent some time visiting favourite places and exploring some new. Including this fabulous modernist hotel Parador Aiguablava where we stopped for a fino and to gawp in amazement at the view and the architecture.

Here's a bull in a china shop, my final illustration for Red Magazine. It's been fun, I wish there were more!

Happy birthday to all Taureans!
