A walk in the park

By breakfast on day three, the continuing chatter of complaints from our fellow walkers about the ascending and descending trails was almost annoying as the nagging ache in my legs – and there was me thinking I was getting quite fit!

Can’t understand why you come on a walking holiday and then spend your time moaning about the walking. This is a great place for walking with a seemingly endless selection of walking routes – from the hardcore GR routes to gentle routes between the villages – admittedly still with a fair bit of up and down.

Our walk today started in the cloud and mist – almost heavy enough to be classed as rain – but by the time we had walked along the ridge from Arure towards the coast the sun was out



and – with no shade at all – it warmed up quickly. Luckily Juan Miguel took us to the only tree on the entire mountainside for our lunch stop. 

We finished with a mile long descent from about 700m down to sea level. We had time for a swim on the beach but decided to settle for a cold beer instead and a quick paddle before our ride home.
