What - No Sunshine?

Mark, Steph, James and Sam joined by Antony paid us a return visit for the Christmas period. Now, we do say that this area is blessed with over 300 days a year of sunshine, sadly this period, with the exception of Christmas Day, formed part of the other 60 days!




However the weather was not to spoil things and proved no obstacle to the superb walks that we have been telling everyone about. We all walked up the mountains behind our village (all except Antony who used the opportunity to train, prior to his joining the Royal Marines, by RUNNING all the way up the mountain!).




Even though the top of the mountains were in the clouds the views were still worth the effort and spirits were not dampened as we continued to the next village of Terrateig and back via the cami roads (lanes) to Montichelvo.


A special treat at this time of year is to eat freshly picked oranges along the way – NOTHING tastes quite as refreshing I can assure you.
