Travel has, for me, given me what I feel is a reasonable insight into who I am, the prejudices I never knew I had, the historical context which has helped form me, and the place of wealth and privilege I occupy in the world. It&#8217;s given me some small insight into a huge range of topics, which I&#8217;d never have been exposed to, had we not opted to prise ourselves free from the rock of security, and float off into the unknown. It continues to do just that, but these days, instead of chasing endlessly over the next hill and around the next corner in search of insight, we&#8217;re letting it, just a little more than before, come to us.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-33676\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_140153667_HDR-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The white washed streets of the town encased by the Peniscola castle walls\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_140153667_HDR.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_140153667_HDR-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_140153667_HDR-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_140153667_HDR-705x397.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_140153667_HDR-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The whitewashed streets of the town encased by the Peniscola castle walls<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> <p>And over the past few days, it&#8217;s done just that.

A potentially life or limb threatening illness, they found themselves dealing with nigh-on the worst possible scenario while out touring, but managed the whole process with calmness and what sounded like truly great service from the Greek hospital Mike was treated in, in a city called Tripoli. Their health insurers were, after initially confusing the hospital with one in Libya, very helpful and ensured all their expenses were covered.

The restaurants, like the resort as a whole, are fairly quiet at this time of year, but were lively enough with a combination of Spaniards, Brits and other <i>guiris<\/i> (foreigners). The food was great quality, too good for the \u20ac15 a head cost, including wine\/pop and tip. The multi-lingual chap running one of the restaurants had me running in the opposite direction the first time we passed him, as he leapt into action while we paused for a moment to eyeball the menu outside, bloody touts! The next time we were there with Mike and Victoria, I got to eat humble pie as he turned out to a friendly, multi-lingual, hard working, easy going and gentle character, serving everyone as fast as his feet would carry him, running into the street to help a lady who&#8217;d fallen from her bike and pouring us shots of non-alcoholic &#8216;liquor&#8217; at the end of a beautiful meal.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-33681\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_132946253_HDR-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Casa de Las Conchas (house of shells), Peniscola\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_132946253_HDR.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_132946253_HDR-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_132946253_HDR-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_132946253_HDR-705x397.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190131_132946253_HDR-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The <i>Casa de Las Conchas<\/i> (house of shells), Peniscola<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> <p>To balance all the rich food we&#8217;ve been out running.

Our budget can take it, especially as we&#8217;re not burning any diesel. We&#8217;re neither of us hugely motivated to get south quickly. The weather here is, despite the occasional windy overcast days, generally blue-skied and warm (especially when we see snow in Madrid and back home in the UK). There is a pull of culture, of course, to see more of the Spanish towns and cities, to see beautiful landscapes, perhaps to wander a museum or two and maybe happen across a fiesta, but for the moment we&#8217;re happily stationary.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-33695\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190201_155853958_HDR-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190201_155853958_HDR-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190201_155853958_HDR-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190201_155853958_HDR-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190201_155853958_HDR-1-705x397.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190201_155853958_HDR-1-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Someone&#8217;s got a cracking free parking spot just south of Peniscola (outside the natural park).
