The last couple of days we´ve been walking in the mountains away from civilization hence no posts. The scenery is stunning, the first couple of days we walked in sight of the Cantabrian sea along the green country trails - we start before light and when the sun comes up and starts warming up the ground you are enveloped in a grassy - herbal scent (mint, oregano, fennel etc grow wild evreywhere). At regular intervalsn we come down into the valleys and into little fishing villages or little pueblos where we can always get a good beer and bocadillio. Last night we got into the gin and tonics and after a long hot walk the go down easy.
The weather continues at 30+ every day we spend the days soaked in sweat but we´re told that a cool change is coming. The boys are powering ahead leaving the oldies behind but we get there and can always find them in a bar. Meeting a few walkers - French, Canadian, Germans and a Polish girl that has walked all the way from Poland (she´s been walking for 3 months!).
Will look around and try to find the ´tree´ and do 4-5 hours today towards Bilbao (we´ve been doing 10 hour days so far)
Still nopt able to upload photos - they have a block on it for some reason I´ll try again next time.

I agree with Kerry. Hey Ruben, I wouldn't be at all concerned that "the younger ones" get from "point A to point B" in less time than you. A slightly slower pace allows you to "take in" more of everything which is there to be appreciated. A greater treat for all of the human senses.
