IMG 0333 no guardrails so be careful IMG 5274 structure IMG 5275 Auberge at the top IMG 5276 a bucket and a pulley
IMG 5277 but certainly a cistern, not a well! IMG 0338 descending now after a lunch out of the wind in the refuge IMG 5279 almonds in bloom IMG 5280 in the flat lands
IMG 5281 in the afternoon, we drove from Alaro up to the MA-11 then down the other side of the ridge to the mouth of Pareis canyon IMG 5282 an amazing road with many hairpins dropping 800m to the ocean IMG 5284 Porto de sa Calobra IMG 0342 the actual mouth of the canyon
IMG 0344 is clogged with cobbles and sand IMG 5286 the trail to the canyon goes along cliffs and through tunnels IMG 5287 a Mediterranean coast IMG 5288 why one needs a developed path
