Further coronavirus restrictions mean as a couple we
cannot meet anyone else either indoors or outdoors. So it looks like we will be walking on our
own for some time to come.
However we can walk where we want, and when we want, so
it is a lot better than last March/April.
We were concerned to find the route blocked about half
way around with tape and a no entry sign due to culling wild boars. But fortunately it was for 29 January, and we
walked the day before.
This was particularly so when we had our picnic lunch at the cross. It felt unnatural without the usual buzz of conversation. We also noticed that our selection of boiled sweets is lasting longer without the usual distribution after the picnic.
With temperatures of 28c it felt more like April or May than late January.
On the way down to Senija we paused to admire this lovely garden. Very simple, very colourful and very Spanish, with fine views of the village.
Fortunately we had brought extra water, because we needed
it during the second half of the walk.
Our detour through the valley to Lliber is my favourite part of this walk
The views of Lliber, Jalon, Alcalali and even Parcent all framed by the surrounding hills is really something very special.
