But I am told it’s quite lonely! :D

They are herded down the camino in the morning to the river and back again in the late afternoon, grazing all the way. They are quite harmless though a bit noisy and smelly. It’s a great job though, goat herding. All you need is a dog and the rest of the day is yours. Can’t imagine it pays much, though.
Cheers, Alen

It all looks lovely, very warm, sunny and agreeable! That looks to be a dangerous number of goats, though – did you turn and run?!

Perhaps, where I was in the mountains, the cloud layer ended down at the coast and the sun had just dipped beneath it. It was pretty impressive. Bright pink clouds and heavy rain.

It was a very gloomy day with more or less total cloud cover, except just at the horizon. When it got dark, the whole of the underneath of the cloud layer went bright pink for about quarter of an hour. I was coming back from a walk and walking towards it so got to watch it – would have been too dark for me to get a photo though (not that I had my camera)…

We had a few blazing sunsets over there ??? one in a rainstorm when a heavily overcast sky was all pink underneath. I don’t know how that works.
Cheers, Alen

I’d find that really hard!

Never knew that about pomegranate but it makes complete sense…

Blinding sunset photo at the end – I’ve only really seen one decent sunset over here this year.
Carol.

By a country mile.

Thank you for that. You will note that Spain’s sky is as blue as Denmark’s. Not as warm though, I bet.
Cheers, Alen

What a beautiful depiction of your trip on the Camino. I look forward to more stories from ‘The Porch’ :laugh:
All the best!

It’s a corner of Andalucia we’ve visited several times. Very handy for the mountains and the coast.
Cheers, Alen
