Callella, Begur and Pals

Left the site in Llafranc and drove into Callela on route to Pals. It was raining which was a pity cos it is a really attractive resort with sandy coves backed by an old fishing village now mostly small bars, restaurants and hotels. We had a coffee under the sun/rain shades by the port before heading for Pals via the coast road. This was now running with rain water which did not do a lot to help with the front wheel grip on the steep windy roads. We stopped in Begur which is situated on top of a rocky outcrop a few miles inland and has a commanding view of the coast and surrounding land. We had a pizza for lunch (and watched World Cup 2010 opening ceremony) before 'marching up to the top of the hill' where the, now mostly ruined, castle was used as lookout for pirates in days gone by. Amazing views despite the rain which was now easing. Arrived at Pals to stop for 2 or 3 sunny days (we hope) on a beach site called Playa Brava.
