Rio Verde
Today was meant to be a walk up Navachica, but that was abandoned when we awoke to find that, contrary to the weather forecast, it was raining. Plans were put on hold for a couple of hours, but then the sky brightened up, though there was still cloud on the higher peaks (which would have made Navachica less than enjoyable!).
So instead, it's off to do a shorter and lower walk from the Carretera des Cabras above Otivar, down to the ...
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 ...
Cerro de las Forosa
For a small village, Lentegi certainly offers plenty of opportunities for walkers. There's the long route north west to the Carretera des Cabras, a shorter but steeper route west across the Rio Lentegi to a lower point on the same Carretera, and several possibilities below the village, connecting to the town of Otivar about 300 metres below. And there's also today's route, climbing the hillside to the east of the village to Cerro de las Forosa and beyond.
All the routes ...
Venta Los Pradillos
... think this must translate as the Inn in the Pastures). There's a bit more of this one left standing and it's got a well-preserved threshing circle, which serves as another fine viewpoint. It's a good place for a snack break, although the wind has been freshening and is strong enough to blow my gloves away when I take them off to take photographs.
From this Venta, another half hour of gentle uphill walking brings me to Puerto Blanquillo (1210m), with another ...
Rio Higueron
Another trip up the Rio Higueron as far as the waterfalls today. Mostly sunny, with the water at about the usual level, except where the river passes the village, where it's completely dried up again.
After leaving the village, I didn't see a soul until I returned to the picnic site about 30 minutes before you get back to the village (i.e. well over 4 hours after starting).
The difference this time is that I've now worked out a method of ...
