It’s always wonderful when you actually start out on a long-planned walk and you find out in the first few minutes that the route is even better than you had hoped. Today’s walk on stage 1 of the GR 247 (gran recorrido, or long-distance trail) had everything: mountain views, flowers, birdsong, frequent shade, and a nice smooth, wide track to top it off. All this in the remote NE corner of the park.

We are now in the aldea of Puente Honda, population 5 (well, 7 with us here). There is WiFi in the house, but maybe not a fast enough upload speed to post photos (0.4 mbs). (Edited to add some low res photos- fuzzy, but they give the idea.)

Laurie ReynoldsYay! Since you couldn’t post photos, I did a little googling and have discovered that your hidden reason for walking to this spot probably has to do with moorish architecture. :-). https://www.ataral.es/inventario.php?id=puente-…

ReizigerYes! And there are many more surprises to come, such as why this extremely inland location was named a maritime province in the 18th century! You are just super at digging out interesting information. I had not seen that page. We tried to go up to the castle on our way here, but the brambles were too thick. I am so sorry we can’t load photos today. This is a lovely little enclave. Tomorrow we are walking to the Muslim mill.
