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
... Just before the path branches away for the final climb to the Collado de los Civiles, there's an excellent sheltered spot for an early (first) lunch break, before we tackle the stiff climb upwards to the Col. Having completed this, it's time for the second lunch break!

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
... camera past some of the waterfalls, without getting it soaking wet. This involves nearly strangling myself with the waterproof rucksack liner, but at least I've got some photos of the falls now - or at least the four and a half that I've seen, as I still daren't climb past No. 4!! The rope which is meant to assist you is in a truly rotten state (how could it otherwise as it is usually positioned in the torrent?) and the footholds at the bottom of the smooth ...
