There were 18 of us on today’s walk
Normally we would do the annual almond blossom walk today
But there is very little blossom in the valley this year
It is six years since the almond blossom blight arrived
There is no treatment for infected trees
They have to be cut down and the roots removed
Even during the past year we have seen many trees removed
We were fortunate to have another sunny and warm day
This has been the warmest and driest winter since we arrived in 2006
What little rain we have had has been mostly at night
But there is plenty of time for the rain to arrive
Meanwhile today was ideal walking conditions
The bright sunshine made the varied scenery look its best
The only downside is that bar Almasara has closed
Yesterday was its last day open
Bar Tormos was also closed, as it is each Monday
So we will have to find an alternative for future walks from Tormos
Today we went to Bar Citrus in Orba for our after walk drink
Plenty of space in their garden area for us all to sit together
Temperature – 17 to 22c
Time taken – 3.5 hours
Distance – 10 km
