Saturday 19 April

The west door was very ornate

Tall Gothic pillars inside the cathedral

A late buffet breakfast at the Hotel Saratoga. I had cereal, fruit, boiled egg, bread rolls and coffee. Then we set off to walk to the cathedral via the shops where Laura bought a few things quite cheaply.

The cathedral or Le Seu is set on a hill above the port and is one of the tallest in Europe. Inside we admired the tall Gothic columns, the mural by Barcelo of the Feeding of the Five Thousand and the Gaudi modifications to lighten the chancel and focus on  the altar. The stained glass was also beautiful.

Then we entered the Palau or former Royal Palace, now a museum. We went for lunch to Olas. We had strawberry gazpacho and tapas. A very friendly place.

Back to the hotel to rest. Laura changed rooms. The sun went in so we didn't try the pool. We strolled through the old streets to the port, which was enclosed by a fence, and we found another nice bar, Ambigu, for wine and small tapas choices.
