You leave Barcelona behind as the city grid loosens and the road leans toward the Mediterranean; in the van the hum of the engine feels like a prelude to salt and stone. The ride drops you into Girona’s lowlands where groundwater keeps fields green and narrow lanes lead to centuries-old village squares.
