Short Stop: Short Blog

Benicarlo was our first stop on the way home, roughly halfway between Valencia and Barcelona. We stayed for two nights. The site led directly onto a shingle beach, golden grit rather than golden sand, but very pleasant.
The town has a large fishing fleet and we observed the extraordinary sight of the fishing boats all racing in for the start of the fish auction. There were well over a dozen coming from all directions so I couldn’t get more than a few in one photo.
It looks more dramatic on telephoto, like Formula One, neck and neck for the finishing line.
This one’s so low in the water it might sink- it’s caught that many fish. Come on, you’ll make it!
Enough excitement for one day. A day’s travel from Benicarlo and we reached Carcassonne in the south of France and then, another day on the road, we’re in Limoges. Here we stayed for a few days.
