Day 16: Montferrer - Oliana
No rest for the wicked.
We have started making our way south for Barcelona an travelled on some cool roads today, however, we've also been through some sketchy tunnels.
The scenery today has been some of the most impressive of the trip. Lots of big crags, winding roads, colourful rivers and deep reservoirs.
Our target for the day was Oliana, a Mecca for hard sport climbing. It's where the stars and wannabes of the rock world gather for the winter and pull hard. However we must be the keenest of the lot because no-one else was at the campsite! My dreams of bumping into Adam Ondra were smashed.

Our evening was spent showering in the dark because the electricity wouldn't work, and watching the Barcelona-Celtic match in the bar. The same bar had a roaring fire on so we watched through the window from outside!
That was about it for our second day in Spain. The weather is very hot and humid so hopefully it cools down soon!
