While we waited to be able to get into our hotel we stumbled on a little cafe on the beach here in Gava Mar and stopped for a bite.  Simple fare but pretty good.  Pulled pork nachos and a burger with sauteed onions and goat cheese

Sad day when we have to leave the ship :(
Arrived in Barcelona this morning and had to head out.  Spending the day in the Gava Mar area in Barcelona.  We had planned to walk the city but it's a good distance from this neighborhood and we're EXHAUSTED!
