Road to Benidorm

Today we rented a car and drove to Benidorm, which is a coastal resort town between Barcelona and Granada (our ultimate destination). We stopped in Tarragona on the way.

Person:

The person of the day was my Dad, whose patience has made the road trip possible. The roads can be strange in Spain, especially in small towns like Benidorm and Tarrogona, and driving them has been really dicey. He's been doing a bang up job of getting us through, and it's been a really enjoyable road trip across Spain.Place:

The town of Tarragona was really fantastic. We arrived in some gorgeous weather (the best I've seen in Spain) and got to see some Roman ruins of a small ampitheatre and the town's cathedral. The town is right on the coast, and walking around in the sun and enjoying the views of the Mediterranean was a welcome break from the road.Food:

In Tarragona we stopped for tapas and sangria before moving on, and had some delicious tortilla and a few pintxos. I guess this isn't the most exciting food I've talked about on here, but it was really good (as opposed to the blah free buffet at the hotel we stayed at in Benidorm).
