When it went cold in Limoges and my free meals run out, I started to move more south with a destination to Spain.
I wanted to avoid Toulouse because once being there I didn’t like the city at all and was walking out from the city two days to hitchhike again. This time I used those two days to walk rounding highway as tried again hitchhike towards to Perpignan on any cross two hours without luck, I just walked to next one and tried there until finally got a ride.
The weather turned rainy and having spent a night in some small village, I choose not to get anymore to the motorway and turned to small roads which took me very quickly to Perpignan. Those mountain roads had extremely nice views and even I could have the possibility to take the route thru Andorra, I afraid that there is very cold in the high mountains to sleep outside.
Somehow I got stuck to Perpignan for two days hoping the weather to get better. There are not much homeless centers in Perpignan and only thing you can get is a cup of coffee and bread.
Getting to Spain was very easy using normal roads instead motorway because some hippies living in the mountains without electricity just went to buy tobacco from other side. The cost of tobacco will go three times when changing country, so it costs three times less in France than UK and three times less in Spain than France. Same is for vine price so you can live very cheaply in Spain where 36 grams of tobacco will cost only 1.50 Euros and one litre of vine 59 cents.
I got to the south end of Barcelona where it took another day for me to walk to the city centre. It seems to be bigger than Paris where it took me one day to walk all the City and two days to walk out to the motorway where was possible to hitchhike to the Orleans.
The Diagonal goes from South end motorway to the North end beach, Gran Via Catalones divides the City, and there is Parallel which goes up to the South side and Meridian which goes to north side.
As my favourite places are Sants, Park Guell, Av, Bogatell and the food is in City centre it takes me always two hours to walk from one place to another.
So Im mainly spending my time walking and thanks to Cruz Roja, I got new boots as my old ones didn’t stand the rain and walk. My back bag is also Rota (broke) so Im desperate of getting some 20 Euros to buy new one. The back bag cost me 50 pounds in UK and lasted only two trips. What kind of crap Britts are selling with such a high price? I was hoping it to last years as it’s my home now when I have joined with the army of 1900 homeless persons in Barcelona.
