    The question that I wanted to write was: Does anybody else want to go to have lunch to a restaurant?

    Diane, because of the schedule, it will be hard to go to a restaurant... I think that it will go like this: - Departing from BCN: 8:45 - Arriving to the beginning of the track: 11:00 (11:45 if we have breakfast) - Back to the cars after the hike: 14:30 - 15:00 (15:15 - 15:45 if the breakfast took place) It's a good idea, if we have breakfast at hom and we drive straight to the hiking spot. Does anybody else go to have lunch to a restaurant? (that means to have breakfast at home)

    Hey - the Food meetup group recently took a trip to this region for what I think of as "volcano tasting" (la cuina volcànica). Shall I find out where they went for a menu in Olot to taste the local fare for after our hike? Btw/ there's also a volcano museum in the area, too.
