Probably the most romantic train ride in Spain with, for those of you of a more serious bent, views of 60s and 70s slums, 1,050MW combined cycle power station, and the façade of factory where Mr Bosch used to make Anis del Mono for Mr Hemingway. Argentona’s Plaça Nova, home of hardy club of elderly vermouth swiggers, C16th parish church, Picant spring, Burriac castle and popular barometer (401m), back to Plaça Nova. Optional: well-preserved 1920s tram to Mataró, ruins of Sant Jaume de Traià. |
Hitting go! on this form sends me email telling what you're interested in. I'll then send you more information and a price, generally €30 per person + €20 fixed. There are ample discounts for large families or individuals with potential for generating interesting conversations with lazy old men along the way--star soccer players, pigeon fanciers and women in search of a haircut spring to mind. Minimum prices apply. Even cheaper walks here.
