Heading for the Blanca for a few late jobs

 

View from the terrace

A month on the Blanca was very pleasant, a few jobs to complete the new guidebook - 570 pages compared to 90 for the first one back in 1990, some lovely accommodation, and reasonable weather, though the incessant wind was a bit of a bugger.

Back to the Ariege - same as it ever was
Then up to the area inland form Gandia for a week - a bit of climbing, a fair bit of walking and lots of free oranges - and still windy.

Next the Ebro for a three days - back to Eucalyptus, right on the tip of the Delta - always a great spot to visit.

Then five days in some fancy golf course pad close to Solius on the Costa Brava - two days climbing on the lovely granite there.

And finally back to Chez Arran to get shots for a rewrite 13 years after the first edition of the Ariege guidebook - one of out favourite areas as it is always so quiet.
