Sunday dawned bright and sunny, and for me that was a welcome change, having just spend 5 days in the UK. I think someone must have forgotten to turn the sun on, I had to walk round with a torch all week. Our walk this week took us down the hill to Guájar Faragúit and we were soon walking and stripping off to T shirts and regretting we had not put shorts on. After a short, stiff climb we arrived at the ruined moorish castle, situated high above the valley where we stopped for our breakfast. Our return journey took us through the lush valley bottom, and the hunter gathers amongst us were in second heaven as we wandered amongst Tangerine, Advocado and Custard Apple trees. Quina excelled herself this week by wangling an invite into a very friendly farmers field, by the time we arrived back in Faragúit we were loaded down with produce. Tapa was held at our house this week and an excellent meal was enjoyed by all.
Our walk this Sunday, the 16th November, is a trip into the Alpujarras, starting from Fondales we follow an ancient silk route on the easy climb up Sierra Mercina with spectacular views over the Sierra Nevada, the route is a circular one and comes back via a spectacular descent.
Tapa this week will be held at Margarets house in Murchas from around 4pm.
This is a €3 walk please pay the driver.
