stays mainly on the plain" is a FALSE statement. It has been raining in torrents the last few days, and this whole week was cloudy and overcast. Therefore it has been over a WEEK since my last trip to the beach, and there probably won't be another in my near future. In honor of the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall (which occurred a week ago today), here are some pictures I have accumulated the last two months of the Mediterranean!
As you can see, the coastline along the "Costa Dorada," is quite rocky. Costa Dorada (or Costa Daurada in Català) means "Golden Coast" and describes the coastline in the province of Tarragona.
This picture reminds me of the cliffs of Del Mar, with all the warning signs posted that they are in danger of falling. I took my chances and walked under these to continue walking south along the coastline.
There are some nice hiking trails around here, and one or two will lead you to a remote beach that isn't packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.
At this point I'm just showing you guys my mad photographic skillz...
The only surfers I've ever seen in Spain...they are those two dots you may or may not be able to see. Neither of them was very successful in their endeavors.

With Summer over and the rainy Fall upon me, time to bust out my rain boots! Too bad I left those in San Diego thinking I wouldn't need them here...Ah well, shopping I must go.
Hope you guys are having a good weekend and are staying dry!
