Well, it is sad to say that this wonderful trip had to come to an end.

We moved to the bar at the restaurant. It was then decided to go to a bar near our hotel in four taxis. However, we were getting picked up at an early hour the next day (in fact that day since it was after midnight), so we piked out to head back to the hotel. There were several tearful good-byes before getting in the taxi. I thought that I had a last group photo but cannot seem to find it. If any one reading this has one can you send it to me and I will add it to this post.

We cannot say enough about our hosts. Frank was extremely knowledgeable and opened a lot of doors for us. Plus he is a genuinely nice guy. Casey and Biznaga, her company, were tremendous in establishing such a full featured tour and all the organisation needed to start it and keep it going. We can highly recommend Biznaga for other tours. In fact, Frank and Casey are doing a repeat of the Catalan Treasures tour in May next year. For all of you reading this post that were not on this trip, I recommend it to you highly.  Contact details are

Casey New Biznaga <casey@biznaga.com> and the website is http://www.biznaga.com/

Also, a special thanks to Rachel who was wonderful for us in the Priorat.

So we are off to Provence! We hope that you enjoyed reading this blog just as much as we did experiencing it. I am (trying to) start a new Blog for the next part of the trip so if you are interested in following our further travels and travails) you can tune into:
