Torre De Mar

I was dreading today for the map showed we had to go through some grueling mountains on the freeway. There wasn't an alternative route. We ate our hotel breakfast which was croissants, toast with sliced cheese, sliced cured ham,  chorizo, orange juice, and cafe con leche's. Full and exhausted from the day before we set out on our bikes. We went on the freeway as before and in this stretch it wasn't as bad as I thought. We rode right in between the two mountain ranges and not up in them so the rode was pretty flat. This week is the constitution holliday. It's on every other day and this next weekend so not alot of truckers out whizzing by. We saw some other bicyclists and they cheered us on. When this happens it makes us feel good and gives us encouragement. We took many breaks and rode it pretty casual today. Whenever we stop off at a gas station for water and snacks we're quit the spectacle. Everyone stares at us and a few people will ask us about our adventures but most just keep to themselves. Rode about 40 kilometres today. We followed our map to Torre De Mar for there was campsites. What a weird creepy place like out of a twilight zone. First rolling in there's 5 campsites. All of which you rent a small casa (house) or roll in your motor home. All full of an elderly community and no families. A couple of them you can pay to put your tent on the ground but wanted 50 to 30 euro's. Funny cause we camped for free right next door to the campsites. We could hear the waves crashing all night. The creepy part was it's all next to a huge city that's completely empty. The whole city is shut down in the winter. All the huge hotels and beach front houses, stores n all, all vacant. No cars or busses or people except the campers. Ultra feeling of the twilight zone. We watched the sunset and slept cozy all night. Woke up to see the sunrise which was amazing the next morning.
