Is Clairol Nice And Easy A Metallic Dye
From the hill of French Restábal
This
Sunday we made a proposal to Encarni, a good stretch of the much hyped Journey of Resistance. It was out that the club had planned ... but sometimes you make changes to the itinerary on the spot if it is appropriate and we all agree. It is not the first time ... will not be the last! In addition, on the basis that the area is kicking Lecrín Valley, any change will give good results: whole region is beautiful. This
(who are not of Granada and know her, the entry "In the Valley of Joy" is by the same party).
As some have been 29 km, and by another 27, (in any case, a walk APAN) to an intermediate section of the crossing, which runs from the village of Restábal through Pine Valley, near the Chapel of Christ the shoe and up the hill of French. Round is a rise of about 14 kms with a drop of nearly 800 meters, which runs along roads rural villages, but the ascent is very gradual so comfortable.
For return, we took a little detour in the end we are left in the path that we take up.
The views along the entire route are always spectacular, the people of the valley, the reservoir Béznar, orange groves and lemon trees, the terraces planted with almond trees still in bloom , the eternal substance of Sierra Nevada, white and sunny on one side, and saw Almijara, blue and surrounded by clouds on the other. And occasionally, the silhouette of the chapels (Christ's Shoes and Virgen del Cerro, with those names so ... original.)
This is the Chapel of Christ the shoe, and did you see closely on another occasion. This time we have left it up because it was not our way. How pretty at the top of the hill, so blanquita ... have recently reconstructed the cross, and smashed a thunderbolt. If you look, you will see that the side have been a lightning rod for that not to happen again. Hopefully that works ...!
Along the way the almond blossom, always present. But if you take several weeks and how they are flowers .....¿ yet? I never tire of watching them.
Concha and I in a bend of the road before taking the path to the hill of French, at all times around made us stop and the peer of the photos have not stopped them, of course. The time has accompanied, also ... the sun was very good, but afternoon clouds and the north wind was already quite noticeable.
This is the sidewalk, quite comfortable, by the way, which leads to Collado. Sometimes moved into the thick pine forests and at times seems to be close by vegetation, but the next curve and have reopened all over again the landscape before you .... beautiful route, really. For those who did not know, a real discovery.
At the top of the French Collado have sought a corner sheltered from the wind (which in the highlands blows you know how) to eat. .. just enough time to gobble the sandwiches and little else, since the clouds came from the part of the Almijara - why not! - warning that the time would change.
At a stop to cool their throats on the way back then .... So if I have the opportunity Blight left, my priority is to always cherish it, or tinker, or pull his tail and ears, or even riding on it .... the animal will end up run away from me. It is so good that some instincts awaken in me ...!
Luckily he and Vicente, the owner, I cope with infinite patience.
so very Moorish This entry is actually posted to the shrine of the Virgen del Cerro. As is now very near the end of the route (in Restábal), and we were all tired most of the group walked past .... but Some of us take the trouble to approach the shrine and were amazed: small, new (year 1998), very clean and tidy, and closed only by a locked gate.
a pity that no photograph of the interior. Let's see if next time we go through here ...
These photos have made such beautiful Angus, Victoria, Antonio, Vicente and Manuel. As always, having to choose between all gets it, those that do not put here are just amazing .... if you want to see them all, you know that pages are Rompebotas Trails and full albums. Before
Finally, a fond remembrance for our fellow trails Ricardo, who is undergoing a health bump these days .....¡ mood and recover soon, your hiking group and the mountains are waiting for you!
