December 25, 2022,Von Sant Martí d'Empúries nach L'Escala

On Boxing Day we went for a hike along the Mediterranean coast on the other side of the Bay of Roses. L'Escala was the venue for the sailing competitions of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

I wish everyone two happy and peaceful Christmas holidays 🎄🎅 By the way, here in Spain there is only one holiday at Christmas.
