The first 2 km were along the gorge that Albunuelas sits on. Then about 3 km of up up up on a narrow path which was fun, and then along forestry paths for most of the day. I passed many examples of EU money being mis-spent on pontless miradors, and ornate but ugly fountains in the middle of nowhere whose water was non -potable. Lunacy. The weather was stunning and the fruit groves serene. I saw the Med and maybe Africa. But tge bit of haze was quite a welcome althkugh i still got a bit red. I am not sure what to make of lanjaron yet but the beer and pincho will help me decide.
South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.
