San Pere de Pescador

Our last site in Spain was on the L'Amforma site near San Pere de Pescador and was another large well-equipped site with plenty to see around including large roman settlement of Emporium. Went there with friends from 'across the road' and introduced them to some new activities (for them) like walking, shopping for Spanish food (they are still eating food they brought from England) and getting into the museum for free as we are European pensioners.

From the newspaper it looks like it is hotter in England than Costa Brava at the moment - in fact it has clouded over today and is quite cool at only 70deg.  The World cup started today and Germany did well in their first game as we could tell by the cheering from all over the site.

We walked into San Pere and back down the river and beach, an unscheduled 5-mile hike as it turned out. It was quite windy and amazing to see so many surfers doing acrobatics over the water. We then watched England’s first match in the bar – it was rubbish - so we took lot of stick from the Germans on site.  Many of the English, Dutch and German football fans had decorated their pitches with national flags and football tack but it was all very friendly rivalry.
