18 January – Murla Ermita

 

View of our destination from the bottom of our street

We are still walking on our own due to the coronavirus restrictions

The advantage is that we can walk when we wish, but we do miss our walking friends

The abandoned restaurant by the river now has “no entry” written on the walls

The river looked particularly attractive in the bright sun

So we had an early banana stop

We were surprised that despite the recent heavy rain the river was easily fordable

We were quite close to where the goats are kept overnight, and could hear the preparation to take them out

But unfortunately they went in the opposite direction

We did this walk in February last year with the Monday Ramblers

There were 13 in the group and the comparison with just the two of us today was striking

We had our picnic lunch at the Ermita de Sant Sebastia

The door was locked but I took this photo through the grill

We had a number of calls from Moviestar during our picnic, but with poor reception did not understand what they wanted

Lovely walking weather today and we particularly enjoyed walking through the woods

We found a slightly better track for our alternative route back
