After a quick visit to Barcelona , next on the itinerary was Torralba de Ribota , a little village near Calatayud , and the site of the Saltamontes festival . We decided to try our luck with BlaBlaCar , and despite a few communication challenges (turns out that listening to voice notes in fast Spanish with Barcelona bustle in the background is a lot harder than listening to TED talks) it was generally a good experience and an easy way to reach Calatayud.
