Highway to the Sky

We drove to Valldemosa to start our walk today, only 7 miles but a fabulous walk. We stayed through woods climbing gradually for about 1.5 hours till we reached the ridge with fabulous views back to the town, to Palma and to Port de Soller.

This is Carol strolling along the ridge on Archduke Ferdinand's path. It was so well-made. We loved it. We continued along the ridge till we found our descent path by another route - we'd considered going down to Deia but the book said it was very steep with slippy scree so neither Carol nor I felt comfortable with that - we'd have been very slow.

We stopped on the way back for a beer overlooked a pretty rocky outcrop. Now we are about to get smartened up to go out for a meal.

I found the steep ascent yesterday hard work so was apprehensive about having 4 days out in a row, as I felt quite tired, but relaxing in the garden by the pool was not an option. I'm glad I didn't cop out as it has been a brilliant day.
