OF DITCHES to Lanjaron:
As autumn we had walked as if on tiptoe between heat and rain, we decided to catch on beyond their first embrace in one of his places of more full and warm. So that, without second thoughts, we opted for this beautiful march from the village of Ditchingham leads to Lanjaron. First, to lengthen a little walk and second to pass through the heart of Castañar Lanjarón as one of the largest chestnut forests throughout the southern slope of the Sierra Nevada and Alpujarra literary set.
To do this we take the "semi-motorway road-" of Granada to Motril , turning off the output marked "Nigüelas-Acequias ."

continue along the old road to Motril and wherein lies the diversion and rising to this village, we parked the vehicle, specifically in a widening area, to the right side of the road, and is enabled for parking, once past the bridge over the river Torrente.
From here, about 9:57 pm started good, the walking, as the first stanza of the poem sends hiking, and now, and because there was no other, this paved road to the quiet village of Ditchingham , one kilometer away from where we left parked vehicle. We spent
Church Square and arrived at a small landscaped park with a gazebo and a refreshing fountain. On the right hand lane marked trails, but we saving in distance, continue to climb north to skip past the stone walls of an almond farm that serve as reference to take either a path and, after crossing a ditch, we a more narrow leaves. After crossing a small, thick pine forest and continue along a path with fabulous views to our left, on the beautiful town of Nigüelas practically sitting on the pit leaving the Torrent River to the right of its course, and you directly entrains The GR-7 ( within the European E-4).
But slowly, the path is uphill and not zig-zag flight. So After taking a step after the other and breathe a lot of the sky almost ocean (do not forget that behind us had sea) "aims iodine which is very good for the thyroid," said my cousin Antonio and herding.

After a stop to another and to take away the sweat clogging, uphill climb to meet the road that, as I mentioned earlier, rising from the village of Ditchingham, and we avoid to not give this great rodeo. We are now on the precipice of the river Torrente and we have to cross from one side to another.
Once we reached the first crossroads, past the left, and that is on the rise, we take the right one and that is downhill. The views here are spectacular, looking south from left to right: Contraviesa, the Sierra de Lújar, the Mediterranean, the Sierra de los Guájares, the Sierra de la Almijara of Tejeda and the Albuñuelas; behind us, the Sierra del Manar and the foothills of the high peaks of Sierra Nevada and as a gift of this glade, down some huge windmills "for the production of electricity and the spark that gives you the view when you look everything down and mastered. Continuing
lane width, and after passing an extensive planting of almond trees and vines, we have before our eyes another huge crack in the ground: this is the ravine Tablate and, of course, also have to save it.
continue along the forest track and we see here are doing a great cleansing of the area of \u200b\u200bpine forest and we go through now. The rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ) in flower, lecheterna (Euphorbia characias ) with which you would remove the warts to the modern witch, broom, thyme aceitunera greet us as we passed. Left behind remnants of the unfortunate fire that destroyed this place and was caused by two hikers that aliens believed lost had no occurrence that set fire to which they are located.
The fire, which was declared on September 22, 2005, which began on the site of Tello, destroyed over 2,200 hectares of an area of \u200b\u200bhigh ecological value, most of them, 50 percent is within the Sierra Nevada National Park.
About 13:05 h. Pedro Calvo we , a beautiful place where there is a restored hostel three years ago and belongs to the municipality of Lecrín (which can be booked by calling your City Hall for free, even as we ensured its occupants, is "caught "every weekend until June 2007 (for those who can, there are many days ...) Here there is also a very generous fresh water spring, a large pool surrounded by way of Pantaneto or reservoir and guarded for more cool by the shade some large firs. A place to stay, but not too much because we had to continue with "our trip chestnuts.
Al soon and after passing this place of Pedro Calvo, the lane splits into two: the right and down, continuing Lanjarón lead directly to the GR-7 (although saying that there is no signage at the slightest respect), the left and is signposted on the rise as Tello A "and is the one we make. Once we are on sufficient dimension and where we can see a vast area dotted with farms, mostly in ruins, and through thick woods, we got carried away, leading us to them by our own instincts (the paths here as they are camouflaged in the landscape), to usher in Castañar Lanjarón.
here on Bordaila , we required that high in the landscape to recreate these magnificent specimens of chestnut (Castanea sativa ), taking advantage of supplies in one of these half abandoned farmhouses.

continue our march, around 15:30 pm, saving frills and ditches, and always down southbound for anyone to be fired, until at last we arrive at a large farm with a livestock farm, goats and a separate kids and the other side of the road (we imagine the fate of the latter) and we are now down to a new ground at the beginning of a very reddish color, and you go "fetching and carrying" time after time another until the very right bank of the river valley Lanjarón . So from one extreme to another, and with that sharp decline and travel, where we start wrong, reinforced concrete and more arid. But we we turn right again and take another dirt track that leads to a beautiful stone pathway, very steep indeed, and where the pleasant company of a crazy ditch, ended about 17:15 h. in the town of Lanjaron . "Water and Lanjarón " two words inevitably associated in thought and feeling of Granada in this enclave of the province, located between the regions of the Alpujarra and Valle de Lecrín, although there is written that only associate it to one side or the other of the scale, but as "Gateway to the Alpujarra" takes the palm of the hand with the outstanding and most appropriate name to denote the frontier character of this town and whose etymology says it all, referring to the Arabic word "Al-boat," augmentative of "Al-boat," would be "healthy range of sources." Weekend
this impressive itinerary that, despite their signal duration, little known to us, having been characterized by a sharp rise and fall, lack of signage (missing many landmarks and signs to which the traveler is not lost) and the setback the last episode: the means of transport home. Our intention was to take the Alsina Graells to reach the junction of Ditchingham and return to Granada in the car we parked there, but The incident happened one ... that was three, and three "full to " told us their drivers. So that left us stuck there standing water on earth, Lanjarón to be more accurate in their importance. Well, thankfully the last of the night, eight o'clock in the afternoon, we could come, if not ... that right there we registered, and remembering that famous phrase "do not use the car, take the bus as a means of transport "Well, see how you eat this ... (to clarify I have, and the funniest, and serve as a protest from this humble blog, we call before leaving to the central Granada Alsina Graells and assured us that we would have no problem, which had put additional vehicles that we should not remove or ticket in advance)

Well, these things happen ... and walked to the car nuts and we love this place, among ditches and water chestnuts and horizon and that nearly half a Madrid-Celta game we swallow in a bar in the main street of the village longer.
will conclude as always leaving some snapshots of these moments are experienced as memories and these verses of the famous poem by Federico García Lorca, referring to the hill of San Miguel de Granada, and I found embed it on a pillar at the end of the main street of this noble city of water:
"You see from the rails on the mountain, mountain, mountain, mules and shadows of mules, loaded with sunflowers ... A sky of white mules, quicksilver closes his eyes, giving the still darkness, a final of corazones.Y the water gets cold, so nobody touches it. Crazy and open water, in the mountains, mountain, mountain.
