Zalea and the Drovers track - 09th April 2016

Our walk today was an easy one compares to others. We started from the tint village of Zalea and took to the acequia track the runs along the ridge between the valleys of the Rio Guadlehorce and the Arroyo Casarabonela. The splendid views were complemented by the many carpets of wild flowers that were now out in bloom. A lot of the fields had a blue hue to then from the flowers.




We dropped down and crossed the Arroyo Casarabonela and we shared out refreshment break by the dry arroyo with some beautiful horses and the very young Fouls.









Our route then rises out of the valley and joins the Drovers track that runs between Coin and Zalea. We then cross the Arroyo again, but this time by bridge, but the river is in a very sorry state it is virtually dry. It is this bridge that the group photo was taken.

It's then up the easy incline, passing the abandoned Ostrich Farm and the now derelict Viveros Vera and back to our starting point on the outskirts of the village.
The weather was very kind to us and whilst a little cool to start, as the walk progressed so did the temperature.
