The predicted cold front went through later than expected, so only cleared us at lunch time, when it went from dull to suddenly brilliant blue sunshine. We went out, but on getting to Olot, we could see the ‘duvet effect’ on the ridge next to Puig Sacalm. Our hearts sank – the chances of actually flying were slim.

Still, Geoff is a firm believer in hope over experience, so we carried on. Of course it was NW and too windy, so we continued our inspection of public improvements of the towns in this area. Today’s turn was Anglès. The first time we went there (14 years ago) it was a dump. The next time we went (about 7 years ago) they were improving the old town and it was a building site. Now it’s much nicer. The old town is a typical Spanish rabbit warren with the old 14th and 15th century houses restored, the roads cobbled and the parks landscaped.

It turned into a gorgeous sunny day, shame we couldn’t get in the air.

See photos of today.
