Part of the car park contains a small, closed restaurant. Maybe at the magic hour it will spring into life and we\u2019ll feast like kings \u2013 but I strongly suspect that might not be the case. It\u2019s 6pm now, and the last car parked in here has just left.<\/p>\n<p>Last night the sun went down over Empuriabrava turning the canals into mirrors, reflecting the empty apartments and battened-down boats.

We then drove down to the entrance to the canal system for Empuribrava as Jay was keen to see if there were any gates to stop the place flooding at high tide. Seems the Bay of Roses isn\u2019t tidal as there was just a dog-leg channel to stop waves washing into the canals.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19045\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07408-1024x768.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19045\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19045\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07408-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Got a wave from all on board - maybe they haven't seen many people recently either!\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07408-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07408-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07408-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07408-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19045\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Got a wave from all on board &#8211; maybe they haven&#8217;t seen many people recently either!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As we walked along the canal side Charlie snuffled about as usual until he let out a yelp and stood with one paw in the air. Walking back towards him we spotted the fishing wire coming from his mouth and our hearts began to race. We picked him up and were very relieved to see the hook stuck in his paw. I gently removed before Jay started on the much harder task of getting Charlie to regurgitate the fishing wire he\u2019d already swallowed, while we kept our fingers crossed there wasn\u2019t anything on the other end too. Poor Charlie squirmed and yelped as Jay carefully tugged at the wire and after what seemed like an age the loop of nylon appeared. To cheer up violated pooch, Jay took him for a play on the beach while I walked the rest of the sea wall. Needless to say Zagan needs another hoover!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07411-1024x493.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19052\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07411-1024x493-1024x493.jpg\" alt=\"DSC07411 (1024x493)\" width=\"620\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07411-1024x493.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07411-1024x493-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19047\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07419-1024x574.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19047\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19047\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07419-1024x574-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"Hmm, not sure we'll be able to convince any passing policemen that Charlie hasn't been on their blue flag beach!\" width=\"620\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07419-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/DSC07419-1024x574-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19047\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hmm, not sure we&#8217;ll be able to convince any passing policemen that Charlie hasn&#8217;t been on their blue flag beach!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Susan and John from <a href=\"https:\/\/travelswithhetty.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Travels with Hetty<\/a>\u00a0got in touch a few days ago and said that before we leave Spain we should go to Port Lligat, and even though it says you can\u2019t park your motorhome pretty much everywhere, you can.
