a nice walk to Cabrera

Yesterday was my day off. Me and Chanti(another Dutch volunteer) and I had heard about this village Cabrera high up in the mountains. I have always loved the view of the mountains from the shelter. And we both wanted to go for a nice hike so we were dropped off in Turre and off we went.

It was in the high eighties, so pretty warm, but fortunately there was some a nice wind blowing. It was pretty tiring but not as bad as I had expected. And the views were just spectacular. Every 500m or so there was a sign which said how far it was to the nearest bar. We could both do with a refreshment.

After 1.5 hour we reached the village of Cabrera. It looked completely different from Turre. The houses were all pretty new(a lot of British people with too much money living up there) and there wasn't anyone outside.  People were probably still enjoying their siesta.
The view from the village was breathtaking. I made lots of pics but they don't capture the beauty of it at all.

Chanti and I had a nice refreshing drink in a British bar and sat there for a while. The hike back to Turre was downhill so it was much faster.
Loved getting away from the shelter for a bit and enjoy some physical exercise while being treated to amazing views.
