Join me on a thrilling two-day adventure from Avignon to Zaragoza, where I battle fierce crosswinds, uncover the secrets of wind socks, explore the surreal world of Salvador Dalí in Figueres, and find myself caught in the heart of vibrant Spanish celebrations during the “Fiesta Nacional de España” and “Fiestas del Pilar.” This journey is a whirlwind of unexpected surprises and a deeper connection with Spain’s rich cultural tapestry.

Embarking from Albenga, I traversed the tunnels and coastal towns of Liguria, ultimately reaching the historic city of Avignon in France. The journey was a striking blend of landscapes and cultures, setting the stage for the broader road trip to Spain that lay ahead.
