Back to the Blanca - One More Time

Our pad at Mascarat - though not all of it

 After a month of cool windy weather arriving back on the Costa Blanca was a complete tonic, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted as we enjoyed warm sunny days and glorious sunsets. We stopped in the same lovely apartment in Mascarat that we weathered Covid Lockdown 2 in, back in early 2021. I did a bit of climbing but felt vaguely ambivalent about it, not sure if that was because we know the area so well, or I was just happy to enjoy the sunshine without the need to keep scaring myself!

The last supper, Pal and the final sunset

The only fly in the ointment was my second bought of sciatica - the first, in Ariege two months ago was unpleasant, this one was worse, more painful and longer lasting, two weeks in and I still haven't shaken it off. Currently we are stopping in the Ebro Delta, Ariege bound where I will need to hunt out a physio/osteopath.
