Cortes y Graena



It seems the best of the weather lies in and around Murcia so we set off in foul weather to get there


Turbulent skies and very windy conditions play havoc with street furniture
We saw numerous lorries and vans stuck in mud in the fields and side roads


Cortes y Graena and atop the dam for a couple of nights. How we didn't get blown off it the first night  I don't know!



Somewhat different to the 35 deg heat of last spring


The roads here are spattered with the rocks brought down in the overnight rains and we do our best to clear the larger ones from the tarmac on a big walk the next day


The walls left after excavation look really dodgy to me having seen the landslide at Pomarao last year


Undercut nicely by erosion and made of thick rubble/clay


Not a place to hang around in....


Dry stone walling Spanish style



We escaped this lot thankfully



La Peza, the nearest village, proved to be a big hit at lunchtime where we found a very nice bar doing 'Walkers Food'
