Loitering in Órgiva for an hour or to to meet up with people eve have multiple breakfasts.

My route winds on the road past my favourite house from APITS. I don’t past without looking it would only make me unhappy.

But my road travelled up and didn’t stop, past Panpameria past Bubión,

past Calileira then I hit a gravel road, no cars from now on. The path wound up through conifer forests and the pungent tang of pine sap hit my nostrils.

Stacks of cut wood were all tge way up the road

I passed a group of 5 Norwegian walkers, I asked if this terrain was flat for them, they laughed and shook their heads, they were stopping at Trevélez in about 7 km. I opted for an early stop, well 17.30, not really that early but it was a late start.

Andreas came in just after me, he is walking the same route.

We are at 1612 meters here, the sun has gone behind the mountain and it will be colder tonight. Best I put on my long johns.
