      Magnifique Cozorla à Rio Borosa

      November 20, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Wow !! J'adore Cozorla! Un petit village de 7000 habitants en plein cœur des montagnes et près de plusieurs ruines de forteresse et de châteaux. C'est sincèrement mon coup de cœur, mais il faut aller au-delà du village pour que ça en vaille encore plus la peine. Dans le village, plusieurs randonnées y sont le point de départ.

      Nous décidons de faire une marche, mais rendu près du point des départs des randonnées, on décide de faire une rando qui longe la rivière de Cerezuela. C'est très très joli! Mais il y a un moment avec les enfants où on doit rebrousser chemin, car Félix se réveille et on n’a pas prévu le coup pour... Manger !!! Comme un point bien important !!!

      C'est alors qu'un restaurant apparaît sous nos yeux... On ne s'attendait, mais vraiment pas à ça. Dans les montagnes loin de tout! Alors on s'y arrête question de manger et de se redonner des forces.

      Après le dîner, on retourne dans le village. On est dimanche... Je ne m'y ferai jamais, mais toutes les boutiques sont fermées. Alors c'est un peu plate. On décide de reprendre le chemin et d'aller un peu plus loin dans le parc national. Nous avons donc arrêté à Barosa. On verra bien ce que demain nous réserve 😁

      Casa Berrea to Loma de Mariangela

      April 21, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

      It was not only hard to leave the remote setting of Casa Berrea this morning, but we also had to say goodbye to Manuel, the owner, who has become a good friend in just five days. Before we even arrived, he messaged us links to the many Wikiloc tracks in the area. He made the two-hour round trip from Cazorla three times to bring us fresh bread and local treats, and to make sure all was well with us. He told us the history of the area as he learned it from his days at the family cortijo, located just above Casa Berrea. We are so grateful to have met him!

      The highlight of today was passing the very spot where we cycled on our last day on the 2100 km Ruta Transandalus fourteen years ago.

      Loma de M-A: Abandoned village

      April 22, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

      Using Wikiloc’s “search by passing area” feature this morning, I stumbled upon a nearby track to an abandoned village. What a gem of a find! After following the GR 7’s red and white blazes through the forest, we climbed a 13% grade up to the old village of Olvicos. Peeking into the ten or so houses there, we could imagine life here in the early 1900’s. There are two beautiful threshing circles (eras), so we’re guessing the subsistence lifestyle here included grains as well as olives. Steps leading up to the second story on the backs of all the houses caught our attention, as did the cross- hatching on some windows. One house still has its rather grand fireplace mantle, as well as interior stairs to the upper floor. Altogether, a fascinating spot to find just by chance. We’ll hang on to the memory of eating our mandarin oranges seated on the rim of the era, looking out at the mountain peaks.

      Loma de M-A: Río Borosa

      April 23, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

      Any amateur geologist would be wearing a smile a mile wide while walking up the path beside the Río Borosa. There are magnificent folds in the earth to be seen alongside rocks the size of houses precariously balanced midstream and waterfalls thundering through delicate arches. No wonder this is the most popular trail in the park. We got an early start to avoid the crowds and had the pasarelas (wooden catwalks suspended over the water) all to ourselves, although it was cold enough in the canyon that I had to make my cycling sun sleeves do double duty as makeshift gloves. Quite a remarkable day!

    • Day 50

      Rio Borosa, Parco National Cazorla

      May 20, 2021 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Auf der Karte geschätzt 5 km, angegeben 9 km. Das die 9 km ein Weg gemeint sind, stand nirgends. Das der Weg nach 9 km weiter geht, auch nicht. Die 20 km spüren wir am nächsten Tag in den Beinen. Dafür hat uns die atemberaubende Natur in Andalusien in den Bann gezogen. Morgens kamen Rehe vorbei und am Abend die Vögel und die Frösche. Den Steinadlern konnten wir von der Ferne beim Fliegen zu sehen und der Wasserschlange (ein bisschen) zu nahe beim Baden. Unser Campingplatz liegt mitten im Nationalpark. Wildcampen wird in Parks mit sehr hohen Bussen erfolgreich verhindert. Das würde unser Budget nicht aushalten.Read more
