Noted: a couple of previous posts out of order, but too much trouble to fix.
Anyway, today's walk was just lovely! Of course, it started with a stiff uphill for about 45 minutes but most of the surface was farm track, very nice!
This much green I have never seen in Spain ever!!
In fact, I almost thought I was in Scotland!
The hills are dressed in yellow:
I passed several farms:
And while passing by one of them, there was the tinkle of myriad bells as goats trotted by. Just beautiful! (No photo; they were herded into a barn before I could get to them.)
It seems one still needs the key to enter paradise:
BTW, this is how the hormigitas (little ants) get gussied up to hike:
2.5 Km. is quite a distance for a little fellow!
Two navigational challenges, both at the end—would a day be complete without them? One involved an invisible path that eventually did become a path and the other was finding the B and B. The dueña kept WhatsApping: "Go to the end of the street." But where was Calle S-o-r-o-ll-a? According to Google Maps, it is in Marbella or Gibraltar, not in Villanueva de la Concepción! For THIS street, G.Maps uses the spelling S-o-r-o-y-a. Who would know? It took about 1/2 hour and the asking of many locals before a man kindly directed me.
This establishment provided a little kitchen so I bought some marinated chicken wings and a potato and cooked up a feast! A lovely salad—this must be the avocado capital of the world—and a bottle of agua con gas (sparkling water) added to a wonderful meal. Followed by chocolate.
