Our holiday - Part 3

Monday 23rd.
Of course, this was the day we set out. It was a beautiful, sunny morning, ideal for travelling. We set out a little after 10.00 am and travelled down the coast and then a little inland to our surprise destination, arriving just before 1.00 pm. After we had decided who would sleep where, we unpacked our cases and then sat down for a late lunch. Afterwards, some of us went for a discovery walk around the village and the rest stayed in to relax or study.

Tuesday 24th.
After a late breakfast some of the group made up some sandwiches and went exploring. We decided to just follow a path...

The mountain ranges of Beseit
A woodcutter's stone hut
Moss and small plants growing on the damp rocks
The Blue Pool
The River Estrets which we followed upstream for a while
A disused marble quarry
A Spanish Ibex or mountain goat. Several times we heard the knocking sound of the males fighting each other on the rocks
The last rays of sunshine with the marble quarry in the distance

Part 4 - Dec. 25th and 26th
