Back from the hills!

So we are back. We had a great time there, in spite of the dangers you'll see later on this post. The house was cute and tidy, and there wasn't many people around, we met a family next to our place, but we didn't see much of each other.
On our arrival, we had the opportunity to celebrate Clara's birthday, and we took advantage of the present she got... a Monopoly!! We played and played, and she got used to winning pretty quickly.
The weather was fine, we had some fog (really thick), and sunshine, but scarcely any rain, so we managed to do some walks in the area.
We went into a vegetarian diet of barbecued ribs and spiced pork meat... together with boiled vegetables to compensate.
We met a very interesting man and his family. Mr Valentí Garrigasait, the owner of the place where we were staying. He is a very trustworthy man, always ready to help you and give any assistance you need. A man with a solid background and sympathy that make of him an outstanding character. He was the one who restored Hotel Sant Roc in Solsona, a beautiful art noveau building of 1929, and turned it into a fashionable hotel worth visiting run by his efficient daughter Dolors. On our way back, we stopped by and had lunch there, and were welcome by the staff with such kindness that my daughters behaved like sheep (easy joke... they usually do). Dolors showed us the newly decorated rooms, some of them painted by Tate, another one of Valentí's daughters. Really astounding!! I really encourage you to pay a visit to this nice hotel in Solsona.

Here's a little show of the things we had to endure up there in the wilderness!!
