Coming soon… THE LOS FABULOSOS FLYER AND POSTER.
Mr B and I took the afternoon off yesterday - difficulties with myspace were beginning to take their toll - and went for a coastal hike in Santa Agnes. The weather has been a bit overcast and so perfect walking weather. The hike took us really close to the cliff edge with some beautiful scenery.
There are quite a few hikes that you can do in Ibiza and they are marked out by blue arrows, which point the way, and this one was no different. However, sometimes there were too many blue arrows, especially when you were relying on just one because the path had split.
There were some hairy moments. At one point, after we’d followed the wrong blue arrow, I thought we were going to have to be rescued. We walked down a narrow, rocky path towards the shore that got increasingly more overgrown and then totally blocked off. Its quite worrying to look back up the cliff, see only rocks and pine trees and not have a clue how to get back up. I could picture the rescuers faces and knew exactly what they would say: “Daft English , not following the blue arrows”.
We survived and actually had a great time. Half-way round the hike there is a long-abandoned farmhouse (pictured here). The domed structure was once a bread oven. It was well and truly in the middle of nowhere and impressive at how it was built in the firstplace.
Then we had to walk through some giant reeds. I would have chickened out, but Mr B said he saw a blue arrow so we went for it. After this, on a clearly defined path, there were more blue arrows than you could count, but these soon dwindled to nowt and we took another wrong turn.
The last leg was the hardest because it was all uphill. But we made it back to the road, rather sweaty and looking forward to a canas (small beer). Well deserved, me thinks.
