Human nature is often a mystery, and according to my friend Diego, in the case of women again, "we are all cut from the same cloth."
do not know if I agree with him on this issue, I think you better think about it tomorrow ", but the fact is that, after toil for weeks to return to a climb to the Peak of Heaven, this Sunday I turned down two different offers to go there ...! It is true that the "no" was justified in both cases, but I'm sure that some time ago would not have served any reason, justified or not. Everyone says that "change is good" and that "change your mind is wise." ... I'm not exactly a wise, but I changed my mind.
may still last me the cathartic effect of my experience last weekend in Cuenca ...
So I met with the program and I went with my Club as a good partner to the planned route: from the development of Green Summit, spanning virtually the entire mountain chain Alayos to the village of Dílar. Have been about 24 kms of trails not too difficult, with some increase Fuertecillo, but not at all uncomfortable. In some parts of the trail, very loose and sandy, falls apart if you step on it, with the danger of a good stretch or roll an ankle esguinzarte ... bah, nothing that I do not happened before ...!
The path we took at the start of the route leaves the Alayos to our right as a sense of place, is a very rugged mountainous limestone mini and a classic of the middle and lower mountain in Sierra Nevada. None of his most iconic peaks (the Heart of the Watermelon and the Picacho Alto) over 2000 m altitude, but with that face so rocky, the place looks like a tiny Himalayan. And when it snows The views of all this are the most spectacular.
Among the path that we and those mountains plunges noisily Dílar River, which forms a valley typical "V", and that during the spring and early summer has been so much water by thawing sometimes really hard to find a site where you can cross it ... we, brave and experienced walkers as they come, not lose composure and dignity, even crossing the river by "bridges" as rustic as it .. . We must have courage!
whole area is afforested with pine forests and woodland, giving a pretty green to this part and sandy arid Sierra Nevada, and at this time, with gorse, rosemary, wild roses and almost all in bloom, and hope has been continuously a true "tea field ... I had long since passed here, and today I found particularly beautiful.
The group has been formed by 19 walkers also have done a real tour de force "to make all the path to a walking pace rather Fuertecillo, but has been very good to all. We have not gone to any peak, we have to cross surrounded all minimacizo Alayos and continue the path towards the village of Dílar, just over side of the mountains.
(Well, our compiled Alberto itself has jumped and has risen to one of the rocky outcrops that we had more close, by the thing "that he is not "...).
Here you our hero.
From any point that we, Sierra Nevada will watch from the white up to their "three thousand "...¡ no place to go, it is not as background! Must see is beautiful.
With the usual paraditas to regroup, eat, uncomment (like say Antonio Gala), relax, chat and laugh for a while, ended the day hiking in the village about five in the afternoon. Today has not been (barely) cliques parallel formations, and we have almost all the way all more or less together, which is fine for a change! Only three partners have decided to return for another way to shorten the route a bit.
