I told you some time ago about the I Vuelta a Sierra Espuna, a 60ish Km walk around the regional park here in Murcia. This One day event starts at 05.00 with a coach trip to Casas Nuevas and then the participants are under there own steam until the arrive at the Monesterio Santa Eulalia later that same evening. Well Paul has volunteered to have a go! And with only one week to the big day he’s hard in training ;0) So good luck to all the entrants, I’ll keep you posted on how they get on and hopefully Paul will take some piccys.
Whilst I’m on the subject of good lucks, My cousin JO, is running the London marathon this weekend, so good luck to her.
Back in the Espuna, sadly the weather has been a little temperamental, but my Spanish neighbour has told me that damp cool winter = HOT HOT HOT summer so any time now the temperatures will be on the up. Of course that’s not all good news as it means we are fast approaching the end of our walking season………but not for a month or so, so there’s still time (now the ash cloud has lifted somewhat) to get out here and see some of the highlights, and there are many) that the Sierra Espuna has to offer. Take a look at our website to find out more www.vistaverdetrails.com
We are now into fiesta season here in Spain, this weekend sees the start of Los Mayos in Alhama de Murcia, a week long celebration, quickly followed by the fiesta in Caravaca de la Cruz, who are celebrating their ano santa this year being one of the Holy cities. The fiesta which takes place every year includes the running of the wine horses and the moors and Christians parade and lasts for a week.
So as you can see lots to look forward too when we’re not walking. Until next time adios ;0)
