A Walk in the Clouds
I get up in the hope of finding the streets dry, but looking out the window I see the reality, it rains heavily, the phone rings immediately. Resumes a few more times, each call the group considerably reduces, the weather undermines the spirit and the sheets retain body heat, are the half past seven.
At the agreed time we appeared at the meeting point, still raining, I do not see anybody, it will look bad. Someone comes from the cafeteria at the gas station and I said ... ... we are all inside. After explaining a little activity, a score of adventurers got on the car and headed for Alcoy, fog accompanied us during the journey, but it has stopped raining. Onset the route is located on the city below us a great sea of \u200b\u200bclouds, which breaks Cocentaina Castle emerging from the valley. The ravine of Cint greets us with a wet gray palette that enhance the natural colors of the limestone, everything is lush, the rainfall gives a special luster to the vegetation and aromas stimulate us as we walk. Not cold, no rain, we are making way until hunger suggests a stop after which we headed for the reservation of vultures. The abruptness of access helps to lower the lunch, we gain altitude, against us and on its slopes Menejador the Font Roja sanctuary in the valley, past the pines hold the fog and glare illuminates the timid sun.
The reserve is situated in an old quarry, the vultures are watching us while we set up the telescope to observe them carefully, quietly trying to do a count of colony forming some forty or so, large, move and shake the wings but do not fly. After half an hour, decided to resume the march, a breeze, then a vulture flying over us, and another, and so a score that planning is lost on the hillside, was a beautiful moment! Arriving at
Preventorio, we have a walk road until the car where the gully close the circle of Cint. In the Hermitage of San Cristofol Cocentaina We expected a good meal, boletus of xop, pericana, salad and olleta of blat, delicious desserts and coffee. Herbero tract and above all good atmosphere and laughter, laughter.
With the sun over the valley of Beniarres and after photo, we headed toward home wishing us the best for this holiday and saying goodbye with "See you at the next one."
Greetings to all. Pascual
