Caving In
"No way." That was when a friend of mine asked me to come to and spend Saturday night at a cave. I have many fond memories of nights spent at La Cova club at Corbera, but these days the mere thought of the trek there makes me feel very old. "But it's a gong show", he protested. "I know", I said.
"At Montserrat", he continued. Huh, not at Corbera then? Just when did the monks and UFO-spotters start clubbing? Turns out they didn't. This gong show apparently involves actual gongs and has nothing to do with Paz Padilla's TV antics.
The caves of Salnitre at Montserrat are the setting for the next two weekends of gongs, didgeroos and all the rest of those instruments left over from someone's round-the-world trek.
It does smell a bit of water bong and new wave hippie, but the acoustics should be spectacular, and the setting is worth a trip by itself, with views of the Med from the outdoor terrace. Now dig out your hiking boots already.
