25th September Riverside Route March

A clear, blue sky this morning and wall to wall sunshine forecast. Definitely a day for a walk or a route march according to Ian😅.

We drove down to the beach front of Empuriabrava and parked up at the end by the River Muga. Here we started a riverside walk to Castello d'Empúries.

At the mouth of the River Muga where our walk started.

Definitely a hat and sunglasses day.

Along the River Muga.

The riverside walk takes you right to Castelló d'Empúries, a medieval town.

We arrived at lunch time so everything, other than the cafés and restaurants, was closed for siesta.

Basílica de Santa Maria

Some Harry Potterish gargoyles

Pont Vell - Romanesque style, from 13th Century. Only the arrowed arch is the original bit. Ian wasn't too sure whether the long walk to see the bridge was worth it 😁.

I had to have a go! A 19th century tower, Torre Carlina, in the background which is now residential.

We took the same route back along the river side. About 13km and over 3 hours walking. Both of us needed a rest and to put our feet up when we got back. Tomorrow will be a rest day but Ian reckons we'll still go on a walk 😅.
