We had a true Catalonia morning today. We spent last night in the medieval town of Corça, at the lovely country house belonging to our friends Viçenc and Ari.

This morning we headed over to Monells, yet another impossibly quaint cobblestone village, where we had the traditional Catalan breakfast of eggs, bacon, tomato bread, huge hunks of sausage, and red wine.

When we emerged, engorged, from our feast, we discovered we were just in time for the Blessing of the Tractors. For a small village, Monells has a surprisingly large tractor population. Equally surprising was that Pope Francis made the trip all the way from the Vatican. I guess even popes like tractor parades.
