Cambrils, a ghost town in off season

Pretty light ride to Cambrils. Lots of casual bike riding along golden beaches and lots of space too. I have a warm showers host in Cambrils called Joan.  He lives in a spacious apartment nearly on the beach and often receives guest bikers doing the coast road. He is the first person I have met who is a "cuber", having a large collection of assorted rubiks cubes. He also shares my interest in chess, mathematics and board games.

The next day, I explore the town. It seems like nearly all the apartments close to the beach are unoccupied and most of the shops and restaurants are closed, awaiting the seasonal tourist rush in summer. It's great being here, enjoying the tranquility and without being surrounded by the tourist masses.
