3rd July
A really good breakfast including fried eggs before I started up the hill, a good breakfast and a steep hill being ideal to work off the bottle of wine that came with dinner last night.

Good weather again, getting hotter but again a nice northerly breeze to keep it pleasant. Sitting on a sun heated rock could be interesting however!

There had been many signs of wild boar all the way so far but today was the first time I saw any. Two adults crossed the path ahead of me and later a large piglet came round a bend, squealed when it saw me and vanished into the bushes .

| High-level path |
I looked up an interesting white butterfly and it is an Iberian Marbled White, there are lots of them about.
 |
| Vall de Cardos |
The path today climbed up the opposite side of the valley to another excellent high-level path to Boldis Sobira a little place I had seen yesterday from the path on the other side.

A steep climb up through the trees to reach the Coll de Tudela at
2243m before the descent through ancient pine forest to Areu.

Camping Pica d'Estas is a delightful campsite with the best showers of the trip so far, shaded pitches between trees and a swimming pool, I didn't try that!
