Clear, sunny and warm, ideal conditions to see the blossom
The forecast was a high of 27c, but actually
9c when we started
It was nice to welcome Rosemary on the walk,
her first for many months
The blossom was sparkling in the bright
sunshine
It had warmed up by the time we reached
Alcalali, and our banana stop
It was much warmer than last Thursday walk
And everyone would have been happy to spend
much more time there than we did
Rosemary and David left us at Alcalali to
collect their car from Jalon
The green leaves amongst the blossom made it
clear we picked the right week
I suspect that by next week it will have
passed its peak
This is my favourite spot to photo both the
blossom and Parcent
Because of the temperature our pace was
slower than last Thursday
And we choose the shade for our picnic lunch
David and Rosemary joined us again for lunch
The sunshine made some more frisky than
others
I thought that we might have to do an
extension on the way back
But we had a longer water stop at Alcalali
ermita instead
In fact both the distance and the time taken
were similar to Thursday
The route was different, and the total
ascent slightly less
Another excellent walk in great company
