ful sounds and not only the
full tank caused good hu-
mor - it was the most famous pano-
ramic road between Sant Feliu de
Guíxols to Tossa de Mar which lay
in front of our visors.
We took the C-31 in direction to
Begur to have our first break in one
of the nearby bays. From here, a
small, adventurous streets led us
to the peaceful fishing village
called Tamariu which wins over
with its azure-blue water and its
fine sand. Only with difficulty, we
could turn away from this beautiful
view and our pleasant ice-cream
but the thought of the approaching
distance let our anticipation grow
endlessly. Further on, the country
road led us, accompanied by the
well-known droning of the motor-
bike, to Sant Feliu de Guíxols. It is
a city which, with its hills and its
rocky coast landscape, seems to
tower over the Baix Empordà and
the Comarca La Selva. Reveren-
tially, the upcoming distance was
now coming to my mind.
A few urbanizations and one place
name sign later, I find myself with
pounding heart in the midst of a
spreading distance. My grip be-
came firmer, thanks to my excite-
ment or my joy, and my perception
became clearer. The panorama
of a winding street was extending
right before my feet, framed by
mountains and accompanied by
a vast view over the sea. A view
which is so beaming and beauti-
ful that it not only gave me the feel-
ing of the ever longed freedom but
also made the 25 km to Tossa de
Mar went by quite fast. Innumer-
able lay-bys and a pleasant free
way offered short stops and en-
ticed to have some daydreams. Af-
ter every bend, I was again excited
what would wait for me - if it was
a view down to a bay, inviting for
que chaque kilomètre
n’a pas été vains. Avec
beaucoup de plaisir, non seu-
lement à cause du réservoir
plein, mais aussi parce que nous
sommes ravi du chemin panora-
mique bien connu entre Sant Feliu
de Guixoís à Tossa de Mar.
Nous prenons la route C-31 direc-
tion Begur pour faire notre petite
première pause dans les criques
voisins. D’ici une ruelle nous em-
mène à un petit village des pê-
cheurs de Tamariu, que nous offre
la mer couleur d’azur et un plage
de sable fin. Avec un œil qui rit et
un œil qui pleure, nous mangeons
nos glaces et finissons par partir
en vitesse. Le prochain arrêt est la
ville Sant Feliu de Guíxois qui se
trouve au milieu de Baix Empordà
et Comarca La Selva. Quelques
cités et panneaux des localités
plus tard, un panorama incom-
