This morning me and Dad went swimming in the ocean before we left Benicassim. Even though it was cold out the water was really warm.  Then we packed up and got on the road until we reached a little  village called….Peñiscola!  At Peñiscola we walked through the narrow, winding streets to this tall old castle and looked at a view of the whole town and ocean.  Also, we stopped for a seafood lunch that had really good calamari and was right on the wharf.  After stopping at Peñiscola for awhile we drove on to Tarragona.  When we checked in we walked to see the Roman ruins where the gladiators used to fight in BC (Before Christ).  We saw the coliseum and the chariot race areas.  We were getting a little bit hungry so we stopped at a place to get some patatas bravas and play soccer with some people but they wouldn't let us play!  Then we kept walking and came across this very, very big fair that only happens once a year and we luckily were there on the day it happened.  The festival had a bunch of people selling just about anything you could imagine and it was all around the giant cathedral.  I got dried fruits, roasted chestnuts, a mini unicorn, and our whole family split a giant thing of cotton candy – my favorite! Altogether there was about 100 different stalls. It was like the market in Kelowna but way bigger.  We walked a very long way back to our hotel and went to bed.
