GR 247: Siles to Puente Honda

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.)
