In Yegen with my favourite tapas

Too much to say. The most stunning walk from Golco to Yegen. Like garden of Eden. So many trees, herbs and flowers in bloom. I took loads of photos.
Met the germans. Lady injured from fall after scare with dogs in Canar and so staying in Berchules. I remember same dogs... was only 10 minutes ahead. A lesson to me!
Sad news... a local weird bloke (about 80) tried to talk to me and is now sitting across road watching me. Bugger. I wonder what G Brenan would have done. I am going to ignore him as I am very happy with my spot in the Sun. Then I am going to find my accomodation and check out where Gerard lived in this remote hilltop village.
The GR7 guide predicted 5 hours to get here from Cadiar. I took over 6 - admitedly  with 2 stops. The last 2 km was nasty. Dry and very steep uphill along forestry tracks. Think Mordor without Gollum or the Orcs. But no Sam either. It was oly so painful because I had deluded myself into thinking I had arived, so was very disappointed.
Weird bloke is still sat there not saying anythink. I might have to go.
