Today was our last day of walking along the coast. From here, we will be turning inland and heading towards the Sierra de Cazorla.
The route from Mojacár Pueblo down towards the sea was a peacefulもっと詳しく
No, not us. But the consistently 70 + degree F weather we’ve had since we arrived convinced someone to enjoy the water today.
Garrucha and Mojácar are only about 7 km apart and have similarもっと詳しく
Ever since we knew there was a city named Vera in Spain, we’ve wanted to visit it. So today’s walk was filled with thoughts of our wonderful oldest daughter - named Vera! - her aunt, Vera Inga,もっと詳しく
We thought we were being smart this morning by getting to the main plaza just before 10 o’clock so we would have a chance to look around and then do a short video as the church bells rang the hour.もっと詳しく
What a wonderful day! It was like somebody laid out a mystery in front of us, and then slowly revealed the answer in tantalizing pieces with one grand denouement. We started our walk wondering howもっと詳しく

Laurie Reynolds Great pics and story, as always! I would pit you against “Tenacious Tape” any day, confident which of you would win the honor of that adjective. But that is a great tip, something I had never heard of. I will now stick some in my pack!
旅行者 It really is tenacious! I have some patches that have been on for years. Thin and strong - much better than iron-on tape. Comes in a range of colors. Weighs nothing. Repairs clothing, packs, rain gear…

So much easier to paste something on than to figure out how to sew, especially since these quick drying clothes aren’t like “normal” fabrics. I find it hard to use a needle and thread on them. Sorry to derail this lovely commentary, but thanks for the tip.
旅行者 Right - just align the edges and press down hard. Be sure to get the brand-name tape because the adhesive on some of the imitations is not as strong.
旅行者 one of my go to mending supplies! But I never thought of carrying some with me when walking!
