Caminos forestales

Up with a tardy lark this morning after a good night's sleep in a tiny room. Breakfast at the now open bar down below the house. Two coffees and a pan tostada con tomate. They also made up two bocadillos for us so that we didn't have to survive on trail mix. 

Beautiful ascent out of Chera,

 with great views back across the way we'd come the night before. Once round the corner and over the pass though the road became an unending tramp through pine forest along the gravel road. We came to a crossroads with signs illustrating the difficulties you face if you don't have a good map. 

Signs pointing in all directions. 

So a bit boring until we started coming down into the plain above benagéber when the scenery changed to fields surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs. 

We're now in a beautiful apartment (el cambrillo) with all mod cons next to the bar, where we will be shortly.
