Paddling

There have been several fun days out paddling with friends. Each outing has been interesting for its own reasons. Valdecañas included one night out camping. It provided nice landscape, lunch in the ruins of a Roman temple, abundant and varied birdlife (cranes, geese, diverse ducks,vultures...) and an otter, which only Xabier saw (sort of fitting, as he was in his baidarka). Oh, it also included a late algae bloom which had us paddling in algae soup for substantial stretches. I could have done without that.

Denia was my introduction to a section of the Mediterranean coast that was surprisingly beautiful. Tall cliffs dotted with caves, clear water, and landmarks such Cabo de La Nao, easternmost point of Spain. El Burguillo was a nice day out with friends which the snow (we have had lots of it this winter, at least for our standards...) and the clear day made particularly beautiful.

As always, others took the pictures shown below.
