Walking holiday in Andalucia - 17th-24th May 2010

Here are more photos of another delightful small group I had the pleasure walking with in May in the Serrania de Ronda: Alan, Louella and Emma.

The weather was fabulous, with perfect deep blue skies, and the countryside was still nice and green with an abundance of wild flowers (orchids, irises, blue hedgehog broom, foxgloves, ...)!

Such a fun and interesting week hearing about Emma's experience as a wwoofer (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms voluntary worker) on an organic goat cheese farm in Andalucia while on Sabatical from her GP practice, prior to joining our little walking group.

It was also fascinating hearing about Alan and Louella's art work, being both artists, and about Louella's Dad, who had had a very special bond with Spain all his life having fought with the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War (to find out more about Louella's Dad, click on Sol Frankel). Not to mention gardening and alotments!



















I will keep very fond memories of the wonderful time spent with Alan, Louella and Emma while walking in the Serrania de Ronda and visiting Ronda.
