Along with loads of other people, young and old from Catalunya North and South, we made our annual pilgrimage to the Monument to Lluis Campanys. Follow this link for more information about his life and excecution by the Franco regime

As dessert was a piece of fruit and a bit of prepacked cake, we went down into the village with the Mayor, his wife and grandson for an icecream. We lingered out in the restaurant garden, enjoying lovely, warm sunshine. Our current weather is such a bonus for this time of year. Long may it continue.
