Rio Verde
... where we can have a lunch break watching the coots and other water birds. Then it's slightly uphill along the Rio Verde valley in an area which is presently looking its best in autumn colours. And then there's an abandoned dwelling, partly set into the cliff above.
This is where the serious part of the reascent begins. We are able to use a fairly wide track. It's one which not long ago would have been motorable, but the heavy rains ...
Collado de los Civiles

... roofs.
Initially we had some difficulty getting to the apartment as our GPS kept wanting us to go down a one way street the wrong way or to drive on a pedestrian street that had metal pylons preventing us from doing so. After the fifth time being directed to do the same after having done a long circuitous route each time, Norm parked the car in a loading zone (other parking spots were nonexistent) . While Norm stayed with the car, I walked in ...
