I am at kilometer 7 of road D13 near La Cuesta de Gos, seeing the green landscape I find it difficult to think that I am in one of the arid areas of Europe.
The mountain has been filled with lavender and it smells great. I go up to Mayorales on a road full of mud and beside me runs water down. It stopped raining recently and that encourages me to climb another peak, La Morra Negra, located in South Mayorales. I find a tractor of chains that had past times of more activity.
The slope forces me to strain and stop to lower the heart rate. I still can't see anyone else while I discover that I forgot lunch at home.
Back I meditate for a while taking advantage of an ephemeral sunbeam and above all I give thanks for simply breathing.
