May has been a great month for walking although there have been less spring flowers in bloom due to the extended drought conditions. Although few expats resident in the village walk the valley and surrounding mountains I have led four great walks with fellow English, French, Dutch, Scandinavian, Belgium, and Irish members of the Costa Blanca Mountain Walkers Group with which we have walked since 1990. We walked east west north and south in the valley and ate, afterward, hearty lunches at Bar-Restaurant Mosset.

The walks were realively easy , especially for older members of the club, who no longer want to stretch out for five to eight hours along some of the tougher of the 52 walks in the area.

By the way, thank you readers for buying our walking book ' Our 52 day retirement adventure along the Spanish Pyreneees' from Amazon Books and other sites.During this time we walked 930 kilometres. It is selling quite well.

As the weather warms up walking will be best at sunrise for both the dawn chorus and relatively low temperatures. Breakfast in Bar Mosset or Bar Papallo are then attractive possibilities.
