As we digested the contents of our lunch box looking ahead to the sea, our destination for the afternoon, we remembered to take a look behind us to see where we'd climbed up from. We'd nearly missed this view in our eagerness to see what was to come ...
... this was the top of the delightful gorge that we'd just climbed out of. The path down was a lot easier, at least to begin with, because it was tarmaced and zigzagging, although still very steep.
See what we mean ...
It wasn't long before the smooth path ran out and we put our paws into four wheel drive to descend on the loose rock safely.
As we went down, the sea got closer and closer. When we reached it, we found it was a stunning stretch of coastline. We could see why it was a national park. Of course we do like to think our photography skills had something to do with it looking so good.
There was nothing for it, but to stop for an libation in the local cafe, so we could sit and drink in the lovely views.
We got a little lost trying to follow the path along the coast. It should have been easy, just keeping the sea on our right, but somehow it wasn't.
We did a bit of pioneering cross country trekking, to take us back to the road which took us up to an official viewpoint. This art installation made a lovely seat for us to rest our tired legs while we took in another fine view.
Because it was Spain, even though it was only March, we could bask in warm sunshine under blue skies.
From there it was a fast downhill march back to our mining town starting point, then back to El Pueblito for a relaxing sauna and swim.
Lots of love George, Yorkie, Pedro and Gio xxx
