It is so frustrating not being able to get photos on here for you, but they WILL eventually arrive, however it could be as long as a week!
We are at Olvera, which is at one end of the Via Verde de la Sierra, arguably Spain's best 'green lane', which is home to the country's largest colony of griffon vultures.
After a much more peaceful night, only slightly interrupted by a few distant dog barks and the occasional soloist donkey, we woke to a very cold & sunny morning.
We set off along the via verde hoping to make 10 miles but we hit our limit at 8 before the cold got the better of us. As we stopped we looked up and saw 20-30 vultures circling on the thermals, something WE were in need of. It made the trip just amazing! We returned back to base camp to thaw out (about 2 hours), and then were able to sunbathe in the afternoon would you believe?!
Dear intrepid adventurers
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a great time! Looking forward to seeing the photos; dogs, donkeys, vultures... All we have here are brass monkeys :-(
Ha ha ha, as you will have seen from this morning's entry there's also the odd brass monkey here! But hopefully normal service will resume tomorrow
