Tamarit - the first " out of city" trip in Tarragona

07/09/2017

 

I have to confess that today in order to write these memories, to celebrate the Tamarit trip last year, it really takes me quite a lot of effort. Last week was a tired week for me as I have many stuff to do with the family, the relatives, also the preparation for Minh Anh to fly Italy  ( Minh Anh is my girlfriend, she will have one Erasmus semester in Italy from September 2017 to February 2018)

Actually after finishing all these stuff,I have been wholly exhausted all my strength, then I just remember these great the days of comfort, innocent, carefree days to enjoy their own life on the West !!! O Tarragona !!! How far away ever !!!

 

11/09/2016

Today is the milestone in our staying in Tarragona since we have landed in Barcelona airport.

So we (including Ms Hien) went to Spain for exactly one week, seven days a week is not so long but enough for us to stabilize, we have found stable rental rent, visited  Supermarket to buy food, most of near future work in school have been determined.

Personally I still remembered the perfect plan as in the chinese novel of Three Kingdoms, each week a small trip, three weeks trip a large, after 3 months I will try to travel abroad.

 

Before arriving in Tarragona, I have been reading some travel clips of Tarragona, a beautiful Mediterranean land with white sand and clear blue sea.

 

I have arrived in Tarragona for a while, but lived in the ancient city of Tarragona, but all those monuments in Tarragona old town  from the beginning of Rome to the beautiful church but still not satisfied me. I decided I would take a small trip to visit the castle Tamarit, an ancient castle located on the beautiful coastline 10 km from Tarragona.

 

Today we go away

As discussed before, we have Duy as a companion, Duy wanted to go to Tamarit  because he has been shown some beautiful shots of Tamarit castle by his classmate, and Hien obviously want to go. That day I did not remember whether I had awoke up too early to prepare or anthing like that, but because it was our first "out of the first city" city so we were quite excited.

 

I remember clearly that her sister Hien has carefully put makeup eye liner carefully. = Time consuming bullets, while myself cx meaning tomorrow should wear clothes for beauty. v

 

Then as usual, Duy's early arrival and the two sisters Hoang Hien slowly peaked down to the bus station.

 

And the trip started!

The speedy bus soon brought us beyond the city of Tarragona, we soon found ourselves out of the city as we witnessed the landscapes with no more apartment blocks or mansions. The villa houses, residential areas are planned into separate types of areas are scattered on the bus run. Anyway, the best thing I noticed was that the villa-style villas were scattered along the beach.

 

However, it is very friendly to see the pine forest, temperate forest. (This is different from the jungle in the tropic where you will always feel the danger around you, looking only for snakes, scorpions.)

 

After going to some coastal settlements I swear myself that perhaps my life in the older days when I have retired from working place  should be just like a normal house like this, near the warm Mediterranean coast, surrounded by woods, lovely but mostly painted white, but yellow flowers, bright pink color. Such a peaceful life for appreciating and enjoying life!

 

A peaceful life enjoying the ideal !!!

 

We stopped by a bus stop which, according to the google map, was closer one and so we decided to go to Tamarit through the forest along the beach!

 

Back in the forest, I feel a bit afraid of getting lost, but with the help of 4g technology as well as after seeing the trails in the forest, there is nothing to worry about.

 

We go through the forest like that, a sense of adventure and pleasure, climate in the Mediterranean sun, but the low moisture, so dry, the forest too. The temperate forests are nonetheless more beautiful than the rainforests (the jungle always creates the feeling that many creatures and insects are dangerous).

 

Take a moment, Woah !!! A beautiful beach scene is out !!!

 

Blue sea, rocky coast with beautiful forest !!!

At the same time, I just lied that our forest fire was not wasted, that if we follow the bus route we would not be so beautiful!

 

So we went on to the left and followed the path down the coastline. Feeling the first time exploring the pristine blue sea is wonderful!

 

Take a distance Tamarit castle hidden far away, I remember clearly seen from the old castle view, we cheered happily, legs also faster clumps, though the dry dwarf hard sting burned on both sides The trail is narrow, not to mention the passage of a fragment of thorny bushes, which led me to bow down and flew through.

 

Although difficult is so but delicious fruit just waiting for the right person. Thanks to the ice road from the right side of the castle, I was fortunate to see the castle in the most beautiful corner!

Ms. Hien with Tamarit - eyelid in the look is too always !!! (After posting this picture, my mother did not even notice Hien commented, "What is your sister's name?: V)

Then we went down to the small beach next to the castle !!!

 

A small beach with only a few people bathing in private - I was surprised to see some Topless sisters do not understand why, I did not greet that flag that day - that day after the exchange I realized it was real. Half-naked sexy new half open but not all the rùi is also normal.

Before bathing, we jumped on the opposite side of the castle and took a photo before the shower.

 

To capture this image, after the set up, Huang had to run out to take pictures. Worked hard to be beautiful photos like that: p: p

 

I with Duy then have down the bath, first is Duy then I cx despite the jump down!

- Ui move oi!

 

A feeling is too, the blue water that is cold but not as warm as the sea in Vietnam, however long before it was soaked in the sea, but the Mediterranean sea, green in the Vietnam vạn miles. . Feeling very Jomost !!!

 

The water was so clear I could see the fish swimming, except that I had a problem !!

 

-Pity!!!

 

This morning, for the preparation of the play, the shavers were clean and the resulting Mediterranean salty, ammunition, and the European smart. And all the chin under my beard holes it? : v: v

 

Anyway the sea is very happy, the two Duy Hoang also swim to the other side without the có

 

On the other side Tamarit Castle is a beautiful white sand beach, two brothers also intend to swim through that without a chance, Duy still walking along the shore of the foot was stuck in the rock slit right.

Then we decided to go to the other side to bathe and take a fresh water bath: v: v: v

 

That's because they only have to carry long, so they have to go barefoot. 150m line road sometimes have many stones, so the two feet are also cool massage always !!!

 

Arriving to my side was surprised by the "home car" (Home Car)

 

I'm jealous of the people here, it feels like it's so much fun to be away from the beach by the sea, the wind, and the rest of the family enjoying a BBQ on the beach. In the evening, when the campfire burned, we rode on the shore of the surf and looked at the bright moon. I imagined the sound of the waves, the sounds of the sea breeze, plus the moonlight, on the high seas are old castle towering old.

 

Such a life is so peaceful, so happy! Perhaps because of such things that people in this region of Tarragona also love life is also more happy. The eyes, the smiles that I can catch here.

 

Swimming on the long beach, I was slightly fascinated by some attractive girls with sunburnt Mediterranean skin, plus the charm of spring age. Different with Asians, European girls look good, attractive and strong with sunburnt skin ,moreover the girls are dressed very comfortable, sexy bikini !!! That luscious beauty makes me cower. I have seen a Spanish family, some girls are in spring, a family swimming pool, playing throw ball !!!

Everyone is beautiful all obvious after seeing the mother who is fat is I can imagine that in  the future I can predict Western girl.

 I have to admit that the girls in Europe in the spring is very beautiful much more than Asians but after passing through middle age, most of them will often be  obese, very fast aging skin, not as beautiful young as Asian women .

I'm jealous of the people here, I can feel somehow the feeling is that it would be nice to have the weekend off the coast, the wind, the whole family relax and eat BBQ on the beach. In the evening, when the campfire burned, people could rode on the shore of the surf and looked at the bright moon. I imagined the sound of the waves, the sounds of the sea breeze, plus the moonlight, on the high seas are old castle towering old.

 

Such a life is so peaceful, so happy! Perhaps it is because of such things that the people of Tarragona are so friendly and kind, they will always smile on the street, on the bus or even on the supermarket.

 

A photograph of a large beach in Tamarit !!! The pink pants are donated by the lover to donate now.

After that, we washed our clothes and went to Tamarit Castle! New to the castle now!

Tamarit Castle has a sad history!

The castle was originally built on a high cliff, with a strong defensive position.

 

These 1000 years are just a guardhouse against the pirates to protect the surrounding villages! Gradually after a church and citadel was built to turn the Tamarit into a fortress.

 

However, up to the 16th century, due to the dengue fever, the people living around the Tamarit Castle area had to leave, leaving the castle alone to guard the sea.

 

After visiting the castle, there is really nothing inside to look at! This is a private mansion owned so long outside the church the other rooms have turned into houses or rooms for tourists.

 

Next we go to the restaurant near the beach to eat something!

 

This is a favorite drink of many people, because of the perfect combination of colors of red wine, the taste of the fruit. All make fresh, dispel the summer heat, making Sangria become the ideal drink during this time.

 Sangria

 Duy is currently studying for a master's degree in wine testing, so he knows very well about wines. He said that Sangria first appeared in Spain in 1600 and quickly spread throughout the world, Sangria is a harmonious blend of wine, fruit juice with brandy. There are hundreds of ways to mix Sangria, depending on the taste of each person, each region where the drink is varied in different ways

Moreover, Sangria is very popular by both Spaniards and Portuguese. Sangria is derived from "Sangre", in Spanish it means "blood" because the characteristic color of this drink is red.

Duy says Sangria has three types of traditions. The Sangria has the same name that is made from red wine, brandy and fresh fruit like apples, pears, grapes ... Sangria Blanco also needs to prepare the same ingredients, the only thing that is made from white wine or wine. Zurra is processed in southern Spain but only peaches and nectars with red wine.

 

Someone has likened Sangria to describe it as a woman who is in love with the sweet, seductive and passionate it brings to the tip of her tongue. My first impression is a little sour taste, the enamel makes people drunk, the smell of Brandy wine mixed with fruit oil. A little glaze makes people easy to drunk and sipping slowly the sweet taste of mixed fruit.

 

Then the whole group pulling together!
