Cwm Hyfryd and Las Cascadas - The Waterfalls

-

 These waterfalls were near to the Molinos and the talk about the Welsh settling and settling up flour mills  

My taxi driver Nacho (one of my pupils in Almunecar was called Nacho) drove mr to the Molinos and on the return leg to the Cascadas. 



The other sight seeing parts could me the wine vineyards and the tulip fields ( normally in October ) and look like the Dutch colourful lines of red oranges on ??? . I should know the name . 


Nacho I did detect was a bit grumpy when I asked him to take a photo of me next to the Cwm Hyfryd sign but was chuffed when he said that he’s taken too . Cwm Hyfryd ( beautiful valley ) was what the Los Pistoleros named The Valley later to become Trefelin. They woke up on the hill and saw this wonderful place surrounded by mountains .

Celeste came off her bike just small gravel inside the white took the wheel down . I normally keep 2/3 bike lengths away so avoided any collision. Dina had to break hard but fair does as a 13 year she dusted herself down and within 5 minutes we were off again . The beauty of cycling in a support group.  Similarly I took a fall going over a wooden bridge with gaps ( reminded me of the bridge myself and Elisa crossed as    we hiked to hydro electric and Machu Pichu .  Talking of that Diego pointed out the rock that had Eva Person's face looking upwards .  This was a tough day of cycling . Continuous uphill cycling .  Our accommodat...

It’s quite a charming but lots couldn’t start , battery or spark plugs .  It’s a statue outside a shop I think meant to represent t...
