¡Hola a todos! Hello, everyone!
We’ve officially spent a couple of weeks in sunny Spain, and now it’s time to reflect on our journey so far.
Originally, our plan was to hit the road from Saturday to Monday, making the most of the bank holiday. But after some thoughtful consideration, we realized that spending too much time cooped up in the car wasn't ideal for our family road trip. So, we decided to kick off our adventure a day earlier on Friday, allowing us to break the journey into more enjoyable segments with plenty of refreshing rest stops.
We set our wheels in motion Friday morning at 10:00 AM, bubbling with excitement. Our first destination was Vittel, France, and right from the start, we were on a high. My wife had recently acquired a shiny new toll badge, and we were eager to see it in action. Thankfully, it performed flawlessly, adding a dash of thrill to our adventure! As night fell and we arrived in Vittel, we realized it was a late night—our second-longest leg of the trip. We opted for a quick bite at the hotel restaurant before surrendering to our comfy beds, ready to rise early for the next day.
Saturday greeted us with the promise of new experiences. After covering around 500 kilometers, we paused to refuel both our car and our spirits with irresistible buttery French croissants—what better way to enjoy breakfast in France? Energized, we hit the road once more, this time heading towards Montpellier. This stretch turned out to be the longest of our weekend journey, but we powered through. By the time we reached Montpellier, our energy was replenished with a quick meal before we settled in for the night, eager for another early start.
Sunday was a delightful repeat of our Saturday routine: a hearty breakfast, refueling, and then onward to Amposta, Spain! Luckily, the roads were kind to us, and our little one snoozed through most of the drive, allowing for just two pit stops instead of the six we had initially planned. This made for a wonderfully smooth trip! By the time we arrived in Amposta, it was still early enough to settle in and look forward to a lovely dinner. However, we had to adapt to the local dining customs, which meant a later dining hour. After enjoying a delicious meal, we returned to our cozy accommodations, ready to recharge for another exciting day.
Monday started off luxuriously with a delightful breakfast at the hotel—what a treat! After topping off our gas tank, we set our sights on our next destination: Port Saplaya. The drive promised breathtaking views along the scenic shoreline, and it truly didn’t disappoint.
Once we arrived in Port Saplaya, we took our time unpacking and soaking in the surroundings. Our evening was filled with strolls along the beach and picking up groceries to prepare for our stay.
I can’t wait to share more tales and adventures from our incredible journey in the coming days! Stay tuned!
