Walking opportunities have been few during this period, largely due to the heat! After a relatively 'cool' July to mid-August, the end of August and the first week of September saw temperatures nudging 35C in Gaucin and 40C towards the coast. We did, however, manage some early-morning walking around San Martin de Tesorillo and Castellar de la Frontera as well as some more local routes; a selection of photos follow:
Just to show that it wasn't always sunny, at least not before sunrise......
