Collado de los Civiles
It's a day of rather dubious weather - so dubious, in fact, that the organised Frigiliana Village walk over Maroma has been postponed until next week. It's cool and there's cloud on the highest peaks, and there's quite a bit of wind too - but the main thing is that it's dry.
Lesley and Martin are visiting from the UK, so I'm taking them on a walk over the Collado de los Civiles - this is a proper mountain walk but it doesn't go high enough to be in the ...
Rio Higueron
... around this morning. As we reach the picnic area about 20 minutes from the village, the river is now flowing as it should because we're beyond the first acequia. One woman starts to take extensive measures to avoid getting her feet in the water, presumably to keep her boots dry. She obviously hasn't done this walk before - it's a completely futile exercise as you must have to cross the river something like 100 times and you eventually end up walking in ...
El Cisne
... I inform my companions that the altimeter on my GPS is saying that we've very nearly completed half the ascent from the bottom of the path, thinking that this is quite good news. But as they'd been thinking that we were about three quarters of the way up, they simply make some polite suggestions of where I should put the GPS!
From here onwards, there are no paint markings of any colour to follow - but fortunately there is the occasional small cairn to keep us on the ...
Collado de Umbrales
... with the huge west face of Almendron prominent in front of us. At the bottom, there are some attractive rock pools in the Barranco de la Cueva de Parra (the Gorge of the Cave of the Grapevine!) - a tributary of the Rio Chillar. For a moment I'm inclined to think that the hard part is over - but the altimeter sends out a warning because it's indicating that we're still a good 300m above the point at which we'll leave the river to return to Frigiliana.From here on, the ...
Collado de los Civiles
... pointing roughly half way between the continuing track and what I assume should be the direction of my path. And there isn't much of a path to be seen here.
What is there is a jungle of the usual sort of pricklies, gorse, rosemary and blackberry among them, plus quite a bit of young bamboo, lying flat across the route I think I should be taking. But there is what might be the remains of a path amongst this barricade, so I have a go at it. Within 200 yards or so, ...
