Liked the experience of a weekend by the beach that I decided to repeat, this time I went to Palamós . I left Barcelona early in the morning and as soon as I got in Palamos I went straight to the dive center. We arranged the equipment and went by boat to “Cuevas del Eden Rock”, a dive site with caves. We went into 3 different caves. For me it was good that in the caves we could see the way out. Since I am claustrophobic that it is very important. It gives me the ideas I am not tied up. As I know myself I didn’t stay too long inside the caves, I went into and out to the other site pretty fast, small places really bother me.
After the dive I had lunch, went to the hotel to leave my stuff and went to
the beach to take a nap. Great! I slept with the sounds of the sea. By the end of the afternoon I walked by the beach. I stopped to see a huge group of men and women dancing “Sardana”, the typical dance from Catalonia.
It impressed me a lot here is the huge number of seniors. The majority of people that I saw were older than 60. That it is really bizarre for me that I come from a country were the life expectancy is 65 years old for men. This makes us not used to see huge groups of seniors, specially dancing and having fun. Since the retired pension in Brazil is not much money, they can’t afford to go on vacations. I liked to that here, and I had a sort of envy because I which in my country it would be like that also: the seniors all happy dancing.
Since I had to go back to Barcelona by noon, next day I woke up early to walk on the beach and photograph. I stopped where there were many groups of English teenagers learning water sports. Some were taking windsurf classes and others sailing. I say there looking at them and the time went by really fast. I love to watch the sail on the sea. The idea of sailing fascinates me.

I went back to Palamós on the following Sunday to dive in the “Boreas”, a shipwreck. The ship used to be from the German marine during the second world war. In 89 it was immobilized in Palamós port for traffic of stupefacient and it was submerged in the region.
The ship is in good shape and the visibility was good, we could see the whole thing. The water was a little cold for me, about 17° Celsius. As I like boats, I enjoyed the dive a lot
