The Aire having been washed away and completely obliterated, the area now in use for the dispensing of essential water supplies, we drove on to Poblet Monastery where the car park permits mohos to overnight for free.
We would have been happy to stay but we were in need of services as the loo is near full. We searched for a serviced alternative nearby but found nothing that didn’t raise fears of further weather-related issues.
We decided to carry on to Alcossebre, a further 2.5 hours or so away. A good job that we set off early today.
The monastery would have been worth the stay and a visit – it is a World Heritage site and sounds fabulous. I have asked for a return visit when we can plan our sanitary arrangements accordingly.
The wind is being disruptive so perhaps our drive may take longer than the SatNav thinks. The sun is shining though.
As we drive alongside the river there are many scenes of devastation. Catalonia will take a while to recover, I think.
Let us hope for more clement weather when we reach the coast.
