Day 135, Canet D'en Berenguer, Spain

Entrance to the church 

A perfect autumn day, yes, I finally have to admit that it's autumn. I still wear my shorts, and today I got away with it, as it was still 23 degrees and just perfect. 

Walked up a big hill in the nearby town of Sagunto, to see the castle ruins dating back to the first century. It's got Roman, Moorish, Islamic, you name it, influences, so a real hotchpotch. 

Nicest was the walk up, came across a wee church (see pic) and the sun was just so lovely. Usually it's uncomfortable to be sightseeing, too hot, but good today.

View towards Sagunto 

The views from the top were great, right across the plains to the sea, and on the other side the mountains, so you can see why the castle was built up there in the first place.

Lunch in town, it's so quiet now, hardly any tourists, and the ones you see up at the castle, you actually say hi to them when you meet them in town having lunch.

And the mountains 

This afternoon I still braved it and went to the beach. I was the only one there, and enjoyed a swim, although the water was a bit rough, but certainly not too cold.

A walk along the promenade was a perfect finish to the day.
