On the mountain

-

I went to the mountain last Sunday. Like many others, as we were locked up in our municipality (and still are). A nice day, sunny, not too warm, but I felt dizzy, unprotected from the misguided decisions of our politicians.

Almost on top of our mountain

    "sunny, not too warm" sounds ideal! It's been unseasonably mild around here too, though colder days are coming. Good that you can get out in the countryside even in lockdown, lovely scenery. I don't feel like we're in lockdown at all. I walked to the town on Monday and it was quite busy with most shops deemed "essential" still open. I had a nice time and didn't feel restricted at all. It's nothing like the first lockdown we had. I don't think people take this one seriously. We've almost become used to the situation.

      At the moment, we are allowed to move but only within our municipality, which means that the little "countryside" we have is full of people, as we may not go further (higher mountains, fields, wood... where it would be empty). "Non essential" shops have to close at 6 p.m. and we have a curfew from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Thanks for visiting and have a nice weekend!

Coastal towers in Southern Spain

-

There are many watch towers in Southern Spain, all along the coast. I have always thought it would be nice to take a sabbatical and hike or bike from one to the other, reading about their history. Some of them are surrounded by nature, others are situated directly along the road (where it is difficult or impossible to park) or even in town, lost between concrete. Here are four of them, in three different provinces. The most beautiful area is, without hesitation, Caños de Meca, as it is a protected area. And from there, if it is not too foggy, you can see the Rif mountains in Morocco.

Almost Fall

Fall is almost here, and that is good. I love the shorter days, the prospect of getting back to standard time (even if it not the time that corresponds to our meridian), eating chestnuts, taking longer walks without dying of the heat. Finding some chestnut trees on the path from Pampaneira to Bubión (province of Granada, Spain)

Casa Forestal in Alhaurín el Grande

It is summer, it is too hot, but we went back to a place that we love, the "Casa forestal" in Alhaurín el Grande (near Málaga, Spain), and we could chill there a bit (forgetting for a short moment all pictures and reports of destroying, killing, suffering etc. we had seen about Gaza, when there is so little we can do).  Two years ago, a huge forest fire destroyed a lot in this area, but this place has been preserved (the flame stopped just above it). Enjoy! The "Casa Forestal" of Alhaurín el Grande View of the valley from above, near the Casa forestal On the way to the Casa forestal
