Miro Miro on the wall

We are now staying in Hotel Residance in Cadaquez in Northern Spain in
the Costa Brava region. It just ooooozes art history. Miro, Picasso,
Lorca, Mattise and their favorite surreal son, Salvadore Dali, "slept"
here. The lobby is filled with dog-eared art books, essays,
overstuffed chairs, worn oriental carpets and old Christie's auction
catalogues. "Original" Dali prints and 100's of photos line the walls.
It's a bit of a shrine to the art gang in a town that looks and feels
like Carmel - only with cobblestones, muchas casas blancas on the
hilly streets and the smell of paella everywhere.

Steps and stairs

Stracciatella (chocolate chip gelato) is easily burned off one step at a time.
