We left Valencia this morning after a sumptuous hotel breakfast and continued on our adventure. We are heading back up north and had decided to stay in Tarragon which is close to the sea. We headed straight for a golf course we had located nearby and had a very enjoyable nine holes. The weather was perfect - about 24 degrees which meant it wasn't overbearingly hot. Trish and I managed to play our best game yet - it must have been the influence of our husbands!
Following lunch at the club house we headed for our accomodation. It was not as easy as you would think, even with the use of our Tom Tom, and Trish's google maps. It appears that since new roads have been put in there has been difficulty accessing this place. We initially ended up in some dodgy parts of town, and even at an empty lot. Eventually Grant was tasked with ringing up the hotel and we managed to get there on verbal instructions over the phone.
What we eventually got far exceeded what we thought we might be going to end up at. This hotel is nestled into olive trees, and caters for weddings as well as couples. There is an immense garden, a pool, and an olive oil press. The rooms are spacious, and very tastefully decorated. This place is a little gem in an otherwise ugly city (from what we have seen so far when we were lost!). By the time we settled into our salubrious accommodation we spent the rest of the afternoon chilling out and enjoying our surroundings.
