Mushrooms and mountains

Fiestas have come to an end in San Juan de Plan, and the majority of tourists have returned their homes and work in other parts. It is a lovely time of the year as the weather is generally more stable than in August and the area less crowded. Locals and tourists alike have started to find mushrooms - ceps and rovellons- in their walks through the pine forests, and very soon the blackberries will be ripe for picking.

I am looking forward to going mushroom picking; the first outing of the season always being the most exciting. My wicker basket and swiss army knife are at the ready.

Now that there is less work with the properties, there are are also a few mountains waiting to be climbed, namely Cotiella from Saravillo, and Posets from Viados. A few early starts that will hopefully be rewarded by some great views and the satisfaction that comes with having climbed a peak.
