Easter


Let's welcome the beginning of spring!! The sun shines again after this rainy Easter.




Some of us have been travelling to distant places like MIAMI, JAPAN, BRITAIN, VALENCIA or PORTUGAL



 








Some others have been enjoying the traditional folk activities of the party.




And the rest have done their best to relax of their leisure time.




Now we are back to carry on with our projects: LET'S CHANGE THE WEATHER, THE ICE MAN, OUR CLUB.....


LET'S CHANGE THE WEATHER
ON ROUTE
THE ICE MAN

Winter has stayed behind and we are so thankful for that. Fortunately, life seems to appear again and the light brings us energy to live it!!

Cabra

We would like to thank María del Mar for the wonderful day we spent with her, her son and friend in Cabra to celebrate Andalusia Day.

The day started just perfect with a beautiful sunshine after a rainy week. I thought "what else can you do than going trekking to one lovely place in La Subbetica Natural Park?." The first person I immediately thought of was Maria del Mar, being from Cabra, she must know of nice places to visit. When I told her about our idea, she overwhelmed me with a magnificient offer of things to do, and what is more, she kindly offered to join us and be our guide.

We didn't do as much as we have liked, only because we were delighted by the company. We went for a walk to Las Chorreras and found all the energy coming from the genuine trees in the park: holm oaks and gall oaks. It made us think how the Peninsula would have been in the past full with these trees. It's a shame in Franco's regime they decided to replant pines instead in the Subbetica Forests.

After this, we wouldn't have been able to escape from an energetic lunch at Los Pelaos, a place in Cabra well know for the fabulous dishes of chorizo, morcilla and huevos. I prefered to eat some chicken and callos, recommended by María del Mar, and I wasn't decepted at all, neither any of the rest of us.

Finally, we spent the afternoon at Fuente del Río Area and end up at La Ciudad de los Niños, which Valentina and Guiomar enjoyed so much. We could also have a nice talk tasting the typical Egabrense Sweets brought by our friend.

Thank you very much for the experience Maria del Mar!!!
