Thursday
Third leg begins


Published: 30.01.2026
A new day, a different country… Sunshine this morning, 9 degrees Celsius. The world is at our feet; today we're off to Spätzle Fritz in San Rafael del Rio… about 350 km on the AP-7. All toll-free, and petrol costs €1.269 per liter. Olive and pine trees line our route… Respect to our group, it's great traveling with you. We make good progress on the Autostrada Mediteran until Barcelona, where the motorway is closed… we switch to the E-15, lots of traffic, lots of congestion. We've lost each other; Ricci and Ernst continue on solo. Gerd, Dieter, and Hans, the hardy ones, three motorhomes persevere and set off. Montserrat rises above Barcelona, not a cloud in the sky, the air temperature is now 19 degrees Celsius, and it's time for shorts… We follow the Autopista almost to our destination. Charming villages and towns beckon us to linger. Orange and lemon groves 🍋, vegetable fields as far as the eye can see. The almond trees are already in bloom, everything is so inviting. But our destination is Spätzle Fritz. What a joy! Everyone has arrived…
