We arrived at Camping Sierra Espuna - El Berro and pitched up in time for a local walk in the afternoon, dodging a few scanty rain showers, but then the rain began and lasted for thirty hours - for the whole of Tuesday we were stuck inside the van and very glad of the free wifi on the site. But the one thing about the weather in Spain at this time of year is that is doesn't usually last for long and soon the skies will clear and the sun will shine again.
True to form on Wednesday we were able to go out into the Sierra Espuna National Park and enjoy one of the marked walking routes, stopping for a picnic en route and only managing to get lost once!

| Still looking quite fresh.... |
On Thursday we decided to have a cycle ride to the local town of Alhama de Murcia stopping at the village of Gebas for coffee, it was a bit worrying that the whole route to the town was virtually all downhill!

We had picnic lunch in a quiet spot in town after visiting the Tourist information then headed back to the campsite through the National Park.
 |
| Not so long ago we were down in that valley! |
We cycled uphill for over six miles with an elevation of over 2000ft - Phew! Very hard work, by the time we got back to the campsite we were shattered!

But the views and the scenery were fabulous and made it all worthwhile.
Needless to say the next day we took it easy - we did some washing, had a bacon baguette for lunch then had an hours' walk around the village of El Berro, this is the only photo i took on our walk - very remiss of me!

| Almonds - not ready for picking yet! |
