Easter in Spain is very different from Easter in Sweden. Easter is celebrated for the same religious reason as in Sweden, i.e. to commemorate the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus.

Of course, this judgement is entirely subjective and the comparison is only based on the beaches we've happened to visit.

After a hectic festival week and a week of pouring rain, we felt the need for a more luxurious and comfortable campsite. We have now found a super nice campsite called El Templo del Sol, a bit southwest of Tarragona. Here you are greeted by service buildings in Arabic style and when you enter through the glass doors to the reception, it feels like entering a finer hotel.

Finally, there was enough of a break in the rain to get out of the campervan and explore Peniscola! A long promenade runs along the waterfront, along which there are countless restaurants, cafes and bike hire shops.
