We’d never been to Spain, at least to spend any real time in country – only passing through Madrid on some flight to somewhere. In her on-going Yoga practice, Jeanne’s favorite instructor was hosting a Yoga retreat in Costa Brava – a few hours north of Barcelona on Spain’s Mediterranean coast.

Of course, that gave us the opportunity to explore an area which we hadn’t visited before. The basic plan was simple, Jeanne attends the yoga retreat, then Peter joins and we spend a bit of time in Barcelona, followed by some outdoor fun (aka, trekking!) in Andorra.

Why Andorra? Because we’d already done some trekking in the Pyrenees and enjoyed the majesty and amazing scenery of those mountains.
