ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Our current roving retirement trip through Spain has been much faster than the slow travel we did in Hawaii and Scottsdale. In our effort to see as many towns along the Spanish coast as possible, we decided to stop in Cartagena and spend a night in Almeria.
The next stop on our roving retirement Spain & Portugal tour was Tarragona, a bit southwest of Barcelona. After a little research, I found that Tarragona has Roman Ruins that are listed by UNESCO and I’m all over that. In addition, there is a small beach town a little south of Tarragona called Salou that we check out.
Our European nomadic adventure continues south of Barcelona with visits to three different and noteworthy monasteries. We followed up the monasteries with a few days in the lovely beach town of Sitges that we had heard about many times.
Neither Mike nor I had ever visited Barcelona before so we figured we would try to see as much as we could in the week we were there. But we also made time to wander in many interesting neighborhoods.
I wanted to go to Rochester New York last summer to finish setting up my son’s house, but due to Covid, that wasn’t possible. However, we were able to visit this year. So, I was finally able to see the house in person and happily realize my vision for the space.
