Peñiscola, Ebro delta, Montblanc

During the first week of October we rented a car for a week and first we drove to the Ebro delta and then we stayed 2 days in Peñiscola. The hotel on the beach was very nice and the fortified old town on a peninsula with a castle on the top is amazing.
Afterwards we stayed 2 days in L'Ametlla de Mar, a nice fishing village, before heading to Mora d'Ebre a bit upriver of the Ebro. Nearby lies Miravet with its Templar castle on a hill above the Ebro, offering a nice view over the surrounding landscape. On the way back to Barcelona we visited the medival town of Montblanc with its intact town wall and on the next day Santa Coloma de Queralt.
