16 February – Jalon Almond Blossom


Sunny morning for our second almond blossom walk this year

Once more it was very quiet during the first part of the walk

We walked up the road to the col de rates, then did our detour to the pipeline

We met four young girls following a route on their mobile phone there

It started to get busy as we made our way down to the Alcalali ermita

 

It is usually very quiet there, but not today

Another group of four men there, obviously not following the guidelines not to meet anyone outside your household

The picnic tables were well spaced ensuring the required social distance rules

Quite a few people passed as we had our picnic, and all were wearing face masks

It got even busier on the road back to Jalon where we passed Richard and Brenda

The blossom is starting to fade, and it will not be long before we return to our usual very quiet valley

Another very enjoyable walk, but a shame we could not visit a bar at the end as they are all closed.
