3rd Feb
A beautiful morning and a good breakfast in the hostal. Wandered out to see the village to be met with crowds of wrinklies being discharged from coaches.Decided it was enough to watch from a café table with a cup of coffee before starting today's walk.
 |
| Breakfast |
Good views back to Valdemossa before climbing steeply up through a heavily wooded valley. The guide book said that this section wasn't way marked, but it is, and on a slightly different route! Very confusing.
 |
| Cliff scenery |
Some incredible views of the cliffs on the way up, and then a very well built path.
 |
| Gate and high stile on the path |
 |
| Up through the olives |
I made a detour to climb Puig des Trix,
1064 meters, well worth it for the view and the exercise! You have to go over a padlocked style with large 'Private' notices that everyone appears to ignore.
 |
| View from the top |
It was very windy on the top and on the path that continues along the ridge over a couple of other tops.
 |
| Well built path along the ridge |
The descent of the Cingles de So Rul.Ian looks impossible from above, and below, but the path manages to thread a way around and under the stupendous cliffs through the olive trees to reach the pine forest below, amazing.
 |
| Looking down to Deia |
 |
| On the way down, scaffolding bridge to cross a rockfall. |
 |
| How did I get down that? |
 |
| Refugi Can Boi |
An excellent refugi for the night.
