Along the camino.

The colder weather is certainly on it's way but we have had some excellent days this last week.

Walking up the track away from the village of Torre del Compte we have enjoyed some clear blue skies and some exceptional views.

The sunlight on the green foliage of the trees with the blue sky behind is awesome.


The (near) full moon rising in the east in the late afternoon sky was amazing...


...as were the views towards the mountains, (Los Puertos de Beceite), which lie between us and the Mediterranean.

Ariadna has arrived!

Our friends Carmen and Raúl now have a baby daughter, Ariadna.

A warm autumn afternoon and with nothing else to do, what could be better to pass the time than what these 2 are getting up to?

The wall is vertical but there was no chance of falling off for this pair.

Hallowe'en!!

It's become a tradition in the last couple of years for witches, vampires and other creatures of the night to meet in Torre del Compte for a celebration of Hallowe'en.

At the local bar God and a pirate start the evening with a quick drink.

Later, back at their meeting place, the vampires and others assemble.

Before they enter, they pose for a very rare photo.

Even witches have birthdays and it is customary to give presents.

Count Dracula and friend are members of the guests.

And after a splendid meal, the birthday cake is brought to the table.

Now they will all go away until next year.
