heat & storms

We're making the most of every sunny day and going on excursions, even if sometimes the weather change and we get soaked. We had thunderstorms and hail last days. But we're enjoying these few days of holidays, whatever the weather.

Estamos aprovechando cada día soleado y yendo de excursión, aunque a veces el tiempo cambia y nos mojamos. Hemos tenido tormentas y granizo los últimos días. Pero igualmente estamos disfrutando de unos pocos días de vacaciones.
This is a Monastery we've visited in several occasions, as its landscapes are magnificent and incredibly this is the first time we see them in the spring, and they were so lush after some rainy days. There are many routes to walk around and many picturesque villages to visit and enjoy. We had our usual ápero there!
Hemos estado varias veces ya en este monasterio, sobre todo porque los paisajes son magníficos y es increíble que sea la primera vez que vamos en primavera, y justo después de la lluvia se veía todo tan verde y brillante. Hay senderos en abundancia y también pueblos pintorescos que visitar (y donde tomar el vermú, claro está!)

  3. I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying a couple of days holiday. A change of scenery can do so much for both body and soul. The monastery looks quite spectacular and so does the scenery. Surely a place one can revisit time and time again. I wish I could join you on your apéro! Besos xxx

    1. You're right, dear Anne, all we need a change sometimes to feel refreshed and everything looks better after a long walk in the wild!
      I'd love to have all of you here and have an apéro all together!
