Beach day in Arenys de Mar

Ruth, Chiara, and I started our day at the weekly market.  Not to be confused with the market we went to yesterday which is every day inside a hall. Today’s market was along the main Street in town and has everything from leather wallets to night shirts and from olives to pineapples.

Ruth was happy one of the bars had smoothies as the market did not have any which really threw her off.

We headed to the pharmacy to get some ibuprofen for Ruth who has come down with a cold which I can’t say is unusual after a long plane right. True to form she is powering through like a champ and enjoyed some beach time.

The water was a lot calmer today so everyone enjoyed more time in it!

We picked up some bread to go with our hummus (industrial size this time) and I can’t get over how cheap it is and how FRESH!  We did pass onthe jamon Chips although I am a bit curious.




Justin and Ruth stayed behind tonight while Chiara and I took the train north to Blanes. Justin was happy to find his One Love ice cream at the bodega on our street  and a frozen pizza at the store so he was happy with a night in. 

Blanes was a pretty town with a large promenade full of restaurants and stalls selling jewelry and other items.  From the promenade you can see the castle which sits atop a hill outside of town.

While walking around we noticed signs for a 700 year anniversary of a church. 


We walked up the street to find a mass in progress at the medeviel Santa Marie De Blanes. 





Dinner was amazing. We had tapas or asparagus, mussels, salad, and fish/potato croquet.
