Even
if the way there was long and I managed
to fall asleep, it was all worth it. The weather was relatively good and the
air was fresh- a quality I enjoy every time I go on a trek.
After
squeezing ourselves into the reception of a small building to buy some
souvenirs, have the region’s history explained to us and do other things, we
went up a slope towards the first cave, there we proceeded to take a gazillion
pictures and explore the water-drilled old gold mine- and I also managed to
cover my shoes with red dust!
The
second cave was up a little further, though I did not explore this one. I opted
on staying on a path next to one of the sandy
walls surrounding the mouth of the cave and carve ‘Nope’ into it. I also
snapped a few pictures of the blooming trees and shrubbery around us: little
purple flowers standing out against the dull green leaves and the dark brown of
the branches they occupied.
On
the way down, we took another path that was a little steeper than the one we climbed
up on. No worries, though! Going downwards was fun because we had to keep our
balance on the rocks and be careful not to step on anything that may slip from
under our foot.
As
we got to the bus, we were relieved to finally start our way towards the place
where we would eat, and then visit the remaining destinations we had in mind
for our tour that day. Truly, the place
was a wonderful one; but I regret not
being able to understand Spanish. Maybe I would have understood the lady at the
reception better!
I could see the sorroundings in front of me while reading the article. It was interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteLas Medulas it is wonderful place full of beautiful landscapes. I was delighted with the appearance and the colour of mountains and how they came into existence. The article reminded me this fantastic place.
