Fantastic week’s trekking in one of our favourite mountain ranges. Best weather ever with no rain at all for the week. Sun shone every day with light breeze at altitude. Perfect destination is Soller in the north west of the island and we generally stay in Porto de Soller to be on the coast.
Not a huge mileage for the week 56 miles but managed to climb a total of 22,931ft overall. So Saturday will be a bit of a shock to the system as no running was done and I guess the legs will be a bit heavy from the climbing.
FSS has recently treated himself to an even more technical camera the Canon Powershot G10, which means that I’ve inherited his old G7 model. I’ve also been receiving tips on photography so here are a few of my holiday snaps. You’ll probably appreciate why we keep going back to Porto de Soller.

Same view later with the two lighthouses illuminated one at the top of the cliff and the lower one on the right identifying the mouth of the harbour. This one taken by FSS doing something clever with the shutter speed? Lessons haven’t extended that far yet!
Summit of Es Teix – will the timer work then?

Oh well back to reality this week. See you Saturday
