Arriv­ing in Spain with the intent to explore Spain’s wil­der­ness by hik­ing and rock climb­ing we ren­ted a speedy Golf TDI and quickly drove out of Bar­celona. I had heard that there were many aban­doned caves in Spain and it was pos­sible to bivvy in them. I had planned on our one month trip to find and stay in Span­ish caves. The TDI headed south west to Parque Monsant. The park itself con­sists of a massive lime­stone table top one hun­dred kilo­metres in cir­cum­fer­ence, with small val­leys, forests, nat­ural springs, and rocky crags inside of it.
