Barcelona to Cuenca Spain 5/09/2011

Small Hill Top Village
Country Side
Guell Park Barcelona
Not the Gay Beach but close by in Sitges

After  3days in Barcelona it was time to get the hell out of there , just to many people for me , but all the same a great city . 

We picked up a car (VW Polo , just one L short of a chicken , for you people who aren't fluent in Spanish like me , chicken in Spanish  is a Pollo) up from the airport and were on our way south , first stop Sitges for lunch . A very nice beach resort until we parked and walked down to the beach and guess what . There were only men their and Ruth says "this is a gay beach" , well she was right ( I wonder way only Gay men go to da beach and no Gay women). They were all over one another and strutting around in there extra small speedos . I tell you some of them were packin some pretty serious lunches  ( Ruth loved it , I had trouble getting her away ) 
We had lunch with all our very gay friends , went back to the car and bugger me if we didn't have a bloody parking ticket 35eu (well what a good start ) .
We set the GSP for Valencia and off we go , arriving in Benicassim at about 4.00oclock . Now having paid $50eus in Tolls (can you believe that , we were pissed ), I have set the GPS so that we will not be on any Toll roads again (the Spainish Government can get stuffed if they think I'm going to single handly save there economy ) .
Benicassim was just a small beach side resort , nothing great but quite , for a good nights sleep .
Today being the 5th we set off for Cuenca ( the back way and about an extra 75kms just to miss da Tolls , rather pay for da extra gas ah ) . Well what a beautiful drive about 375kms , but not one bit boring . We went throught some of the most bueatiful hill  top towns you will ever see, just in idealic settings , straight out of the mags beautiful . The country side was fantasic as well , we went up mountians and through valleys of all excetional beautiful .
We are staying for two night here in Cuenca in an old Monastery about 6 kms out of town , its great and very quite , after the big city .
