We decided on the Convento di Cospita walk today but got off to a bad start. After waiting at the bus stop a while and no bus, it occurred to us that it was Sunday and reduced bus timetable!
What to do? We started to walk and soon got a lift from Conchita.
On arrival we passed by the church where a service was in progress.
As we headed out of town we came across an old grape press which the owner proudly pointed out to us was a Rolex!
Once out of the village, guess what? More stairs!
More amazing views, and a busy dung beetle!
Then, very bizarrely, a wrecked car, on top of a mountain with no roads! How did it get there?
The path continued it’s rocky way through a fern covered path where we could hardly find our way, then out in the open and more views to the coast.
Finally the convent came into view. What an out of the way place to build. It must have been amazing in its time. It is thought that Saint Francis of Asissi stayed here.
Blue skies with just a little cloud on the way back.
And then, almost back in town and it started to pour and no waterproofs! I remembered a survival blanket that has been in my rucksack for at least 25 years! We unfolded it and used it to keep the rain off. Very successful too! Here is Tina posing in the little gold number.
Back at the square there was a bus waiting so soon home in the warm
