Wednesday 17 November. Gone are
weather forecasts. Today's predictions say that I will forward a window of three days I will, when there are no setback, get Llançà on Friday afternoon, quietly.
Today, I intend to get to Sant Martí d'Empúries. Toca do a bunch of miles and move one of the densest areas in terms of beauty is concerned the Costa Brava.
Just outside the walls of Tamariu found that will lead to the area Xelida Aigua Creek. Corners lit by the morning sun show an impressive brightness ...
... and the creek itself Aigua Xelida, affected by a collapse that make it a place not so good for the overnight ...
In this day, the inertia of previous day brings a swell of gregarious little excited. Not a good company to enjoy the beauty of the Costa Brava brutal offers in the section that follows ...
Aigua
From the cove to the beach Xelida Aiguablava find the caves of La Gavina, Bisbe and most impressive of them all La Cave d'en Gispert. All of them can be visited as long as the accompanying sea state. And today will not be that day. The sea tells me to look the caves from the outside and I venture to break into, especially considering that I sail alone. Here are some photos showing the entrance to some of the caves mentioned in particular the first two ...
The third, the cave d'en Gispert, find it near from Aiguablava more .... hidden in one of these walls ...
Anyway, I decide not to approach the entrance and put directly into the Cape of Begur. Soon I have at the Parador Aiguablava and located in that ...
and clearly and the Cape of Begur, which defines the influence from the prevailing winds from the north to those prevailing under it, in the south, southeast or southwest ...
left behind Soon after the Cape of Begur, almost touching the fingertips ...
and thus appears to me the outline of what awaits me the rest of today and tomorrow ...
I walk to the beautiful beaches of Aiguafreda and Sa Tuna. It is a curious contrast between the monstrosity of the massive cap Sa built on the Salt, which dominates the entrance to both coves ...
to the beauty of Sa Tuna ...
and Aiguafreda ...
From here turn in a first step to reach the beach of Sa Riera ...
... a unique viewpoint to the Medes Islands, the beaches of Pals, the walls of L'Estartit and the massif of Montgrí ...
from Sa Riera put the direct route to the port of L'Estartit. Olivier expected me there. After leaving the adventure comes to collect keys that allow you to recover some of the things we had saved our departure Llançà. At noon I go out on the beach where precisely it was clear that Olivier and I would separate our ways ...
Once here stay with Olivier meet again in Sant Marti d'Empúries. I returned the keys and take the opportunity to have dinner and talk over and installation of our respective views of what happened. I have to go! Is a good stretch to Sant Martí and if I'll finish getting sidetracked with night falling ...
Leaving the Medes Islands, I approach the beautiful bay and Foradada Pedrosa. My intention was not to land in Cala Pedrosa but the batteries in the GPS say their last word and I stand on it to change. I called attention greatly batteries have endured so many days. A pair of lithium batteries second generation of Energizer house allowed me to navigate a full 10 days, with GPS navigation on while setting waypoints on the destinations final. Compared with the two and a half days, three day basic alkaline batteries, the improvement is very important. Here is a picture of the cove Pedrosa ...
Leaving here, far away, and you can see the north end of the Gulf of Roses, Cape Cavall Norfeu and Bernard!
And here at the entrance to the Foradada, shortly after ...
It's too late. The stop in cala Pedrosa has made me lose precious minutes and probably come in the night and dominating Sant Martí d'Empúries. I have to hurry. Ahead, the walls Montgo ...
Tower that dominates the entrance to the cove of the same name ...
And shortly after Riells beaches of L'Escala, and very close to the final destination in Sant Marti ...
Through the night and get up to Sant Martí. No more pictures. Olivier expected me there and had dinner at a restaurant in the central square of Sant Martí. We talked long and hard but our views of what happened are very distant. Our friendship will not be hurt but we are clear that we are not compatible in an expedition this type. One of the goals I set at the beginning of the adventure and have a clear answer: Olivier can not be my friend in Corsica. I have to plan looking for a new partner or by planning alone and take some ground support. Today, I see the most feasible solution. We will see in the future! :) Here
leave the map of your route ...
And here the slide with photos of the day ...
A hug to everyone! See you tomorrow! :)
