Today was another cloudy day so we decided to go to Olhos d'Agua,
the town where we had stayed at 12 years ago on one of our first trips to
Europe. We hopped on the city bus and went as far as we could and then walked
the rest of the way. It took us over an hour after we got off the bus which was
about halfway.
There were a few hills on the way, but nothing compared to the
hills here in Albuferia. We did a few
caches there and climbed the same path in the orchra colored sand that we had
climbed 12 years ago. (it was a lot easier then). We were rewarded with an
amazing view and 3 caches.

We tried to find our apartment hotel where we had stayed but
everything had changed so much that we started back on our trek home without
finding it. We stopped for lunch/supper before heading back. The prices were better.
We both had the grilled squid which came with potatoes, broccoli, carrots and a
small salad. All drizzled with lots of olive oil. Lots of healthy calories
there. But it was so good after all that walking.
We only had one rain shower today and it started just as we were
passing a café announcing 1-euro beers (they are about half size). So, we
sacrificed ourselves and stopped for a beer. It was a cheap way to get out of
the rain. It's funny how it can be sunny one minute and pouring the next,
almost like in the Caribbean except It's a bit warmer there.
I had more steps today but not as many stairs. I'm logging between
20,000 and 23,000 steps a day which is about 10,000 less than Spain but I feel
as if I'm working a lot harder. Spain was definitely flatter.
Tomorrow we are going to take it easy and just wander around our
neighborhood.
