"Step out of the train station 40 kilometers northeast of Barcelona, and the farther north you wander, the wilder it gets. Clusters of rocks—often sheltering fisherman—spring up in the sand alongside hardy plants like sea fennel, yellow horned-poppy, and spiky American aloe. Closer to the center of Canet, as the gritty beach path widens into an esplanade, fishing rods are replaced by volleyball nets, soccer goalposts, and basketball hoops, all set against a backdrop of wide sand." - Gemma Askham
