This morning, I took the car into the garage
once more for its annual equivalent of the MOT test, and then walked to
El Portico to meet and chat with people. By lunch time the car was
conveniently ready for collection, but I didn't get to go for a drive as
I'd promised myself because I had emails to write.
Later in the
afternoon, I walked up the Barranco Barbiguera, the next barranco up, which has a narrow
road right through to the N340. I reached there as the sun was setting,
and stopped for a while to watch the procession of mighty juggernaughts
travelling in both directions, so many of them, the pulse in this artery
of the European economy.
Things
are about to change around Vinaros. A new section of N340-A7 highway a
by-pass running from the south side of Benicarlo to the North side of
Vinaros after fits and starts in construction over years past is nearing
completion. Even in winter the existing road is busy with through
traffic much of the time, but in summer, with millions of holiday makers
in this region it's a congestion nightmare. The new road will cut
around twenty minutes journey time at peak traffic periods.
