All week long - and on Google Maps beforehand - we'd seen this huge reservoir, the Pantà de la Baells. It was an astonishing shade of turquoise, and just begged to be jumped into, but we couldn't find a way to get to it, until we found a wee place among the trees that hired out boats of various shapes and sizes. We promptly took out a wee motor boat and - suitably emboldened - a pedalo. The water, it transpired, was much warmer than the river, but still cool and clear and a joy to swim in. Splashing around in deep, fresh water surrounded by mountains and overlooked by a hot sun in a blue sky has to qualify as one of my favourite things. So we went back the next day too.
