With beer and A poncho in Lanjaron

11 miles walked in 4.07 hours. Quite a lot of up and even more down! See Strava for more details. Beautiful weather and some predictable thigh chafing and potential sunburn. Luckily I have a buff for the chafing!! Well supplied with water on the GR7. You can see the EU tax payers money has been well spent. And yes I am being sarcastic. You should see some of the daft and elaborate picnic areas in the middle of nowhere!!

Chief impressions from today are of dry tracks and sunshine, lots of almonds olives and pines, local people scratching a living with ancient rotivators and chainsaws.. There seem to be no nonSpanish tourists in this region of Spain. Not even the inevitable Germans. I've passed Cortigos with threshing semi-circles, Eagles and buzzards (I tried to take a photo Andrew) but no other walkers.

So now to enjoy the beer and plan what to do this afternoon. The castle at Lanjaron definitely merits a visit.

More later. X
