We certainly failed to menrion the extensive area of collection of pine resin, though we have not discovered what it is used for.<br \/>A comfortable night in a &#8220;donativo&#8221; alburgue for a strongly suggested 10 euros. The town has two good bars, in the first the lads got stuck into tapas and the obligatory beer while Betsy nursed her blisters.<br \/>Happily today is a much shorter distance than yesterday and after the inevitable bit up out of town we are on a high ridge of flowers including several species of orchids. After a while during which we go up and down a bit we descend through olive groves into a delightful valley in which a pair of nightingales are singing. So involved are they in their courtship that we even catch a glimps of one.<br \/>This is where we idle about no one wishing to leave the area,lunch we have brought with us and half of alof each with cheese and tomato is a bit much for some. Unusually there is a stream in the bottom and we cross and recross it in a haze of blooms. Suddenly we round a corner and we see Granada and the Alhambra ahead only 10 miles since the breakfast bar. Time for a beer. The clouds have cleared and we may catch a last view of the Sierra  behind the Alhanbra in a kilometre as we saunter into town.<br \/>A kilometre further under the towers of the Alhambra we reach &#8220;civilization&#8221; the first selfie stick since starting in Almeria. Jane and Ann arrive tomorrow we have a pension and are installed. Two days in Granada await.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/?ie=UTF8&#038;q=37.17175,-3.60035&#038;ll=37.17175,-3.60035&#038;t=k&#038;z=16\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to where we are on Google Maps<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quentar to Granada. 12 miles of suberb walking.The somewhat tired status of most members of the party may have led to some omissions in yesterday&#8217;s account.
