Nice ride out this morning on a sunny day, just out through Sa Pobla and the like, the details of the ride are all available on Strava. In the afternoon Lorena and I set off to find the footpath over to Cala san Vicenc and Gabriel Esteppa kindly drew us a map which is attached. When out on my ride I was amused by a policeman in a small town with his gun not apparently policing anything other than a small plastic length of chain which didn’t seem to be doing anything, looked like a really cushy job to me!


Managed to find the route without too much trouble, some lovely properties overlooking the sea built into the cliffs. Strange large roads to nowhere up at the top which we found out later were built at a time when the area was going to be developed but the developments itself never happened. Spotted some young people up there on motorbikes and smoking marijuana, looks to be a local haunt.

There is a gate early on the route which is secured with a chain (photo) and Lorena and I both failed to solve the simple problem of lifting the chain to open the gate, opting instead to struggle to squeeze through a small gap, looks like both our mental faculties are deteriorating at the the same rate at least!

Didn’t walk right into CSV but turned back before the town itself as we didn't want to set back Lorena’s back at this early stage on the holiday as it was quite a climb back up to the top.
