A trip to Pineda and Blanes

So I've decided it best to make use of my week off...I hadn't done any sight-seeing in a while so my good friend Laia suggested we take a trip to Pineda and Blanes. It was just over an hour in the car. Blanes is a nice little sea side town. Defiantly worth a visit. I spent the day taking photographs and drinking coffee, something which is becoming more and more of a problem. How on earth will I be able to go back to the coffee in England compared to what I have now become accustomed to out here! 1.20€ for amazing coffee at any cafe or £4 for weak and gritty Starbucks. I will have to go back on the green tea when I come home.
Back to Blanes....it was such a relaxing place, a lot less people and much more of the beach to yourself, though that's probably got a lot to do with the time of year also. I can imagine it getting very busy in the warmer months. But an ideal get away for me, I think I needed a break away from the city. I guess the city gets to you after a while. There is so much to see and do, I am going to make sure that I have been to as many places as possible while I'm out here, because there's not long left, and I won't have this experience again. I really want to go to Madrid, but it costs over 100€ via train. I will wait until June for that one, and only if I have money left over. 

Here's some photos from today's trip
