Today my friends from the Czech Republic (Marketa and Frantisek) returned home. On Sunday we still managed to make the trip to Sitges and Taragona. The weather was very nice here, around 23 degree. Our trip was another incredible story :-)
In the morning we went to rent a car. We wanted one particular company- Hertz. They should have 5 offices in Barcelona but only one is open on sunday. So, we took a metro to station called Sants. Hertz asked us for 60 euros (In Ibiza we paid 35 euros but ok). Another companies around had prices like 70, 95, 105 euros per day so Hertz was at the end the cheapest one. However we couldn' t rent a car because we found out that Frantisek, the only one who has a credit card somehow couldn' t pay anything by his credit card even if he has money there. Bad day. Ok, we took a train from Sants.
Sitges
Is a small town 40 km distante from Barcelona. In spain this place is known as a ´gay town`. However you don' t see anything special when you walk in the town during the day. Also maybe because there are many tourists. Every year there are some festivals and very famous carnevals (it looks like in Rio de Janeiro)
Taragona
This city is also close to Barcelona- around 100 km. In Roman times it was called Tarraco and the city was very famous and important. You can find many monuments which have been inscribed on the UNESCO list. I love amphitheatres. We were unlucky and they didn' t sell us tickets because it was open only till 15:00 and we came exactly in 14:30 and even if there was written they have to sell us the tickets 30 min. before closing times nobody cares :-(
The town is very nice anyway. You can feel history everywhere. There is nice beach too. Only if you are hungry as we were you should watch your time because you can' t eat in restaurants after 16:00 (nobody cooks). You have to wait till 20:00 because that is dinner time. Lunch time is from 13:00 till 16:00.
Adios chicos y chicas.
Hasta pronto.
