Cerbères, the border town between Spain and France. With a fat layover between RENFE and SNCF, I strolled around and took some photos. Amazingly, I was able to see the entire town in fifteen minutes. My recommendation to you: don’t go to Cerbères for your vacation. But if you do go, don’t stay in this hotel. Unless you are some kind of fugitive with bodies to dispose of, in which case this fine hideout is conveniently situated between the seaside and the train tracks, and frightening enough to keep anyone but docile junkies spooked away.

The past few days Barcelona has been suffering major power outages all around the city. We went 36 hours without electricity, but now it appears that we have some kind of giant generators here on our street keeping things going. That didn’t, however, prevent the power from going out several times today.
I’ll be posting again regularly when things get back to normal around here.
