Great walk for a half day on easy paths, the going is easy so it doesn’t really feel like much effort at all. Great views of the Forada ridge and a wonderful feeling of peace and space. Lots of locals out mushroom hunting today (mid November). The ice houses and old Moorish settlements are interesting with helpful info boards.
