Mountains to the Coast!



After breakfast, we drove into the extremely small country of Andorra. It is wedged in the middle of the Pyrenees in between France and Spain. The landscape is breathtaking. Located right above the tree line, it is the perfect location for ski resorts and rightfully so there is one on every turn of the road. We returned to Spain and headed down to the coast. The drive down reminded us a lot of California complete with its own Altamont Pass and windmills. The town of Tarragona had a little too much hustle and bustle of a regular city for our international driving skills, so we went a bit south to Salou. It’s mostly wall to wall hotels and a big tourist destination, but we are just staying one night. We are planning on continuing down the coast tomorrow.
