La Hermida Hike

The kids and I took a short drive along the narrow windy mountain roads to try the hike by the dam we spotted the day before. Some of the trails are apparently pretty old, and were used by shepherds thousands of years ago.

Views from our home for the week.
Little stream by our home for the week.
Deva River
A portion of the trail parallels the narrow mountain road we used.
Berries or grapes? We didn’t find out.
Getting pretty high up.
We decided to take the path that went upwards.
We could definitely imagine this path being used in the Middle Ages.
Those buildings are close to where we parked.
Checking out various critters along the way.
Lots of these giant black slugs. Ugh.
The clouds were moving in across the valley but it remained warm on humid until the evening.
Exploring another village.
Neil getting a chance to come out in the evening.
It cooled off significantly enough in the evening for us to start a fire. Thank goodness for the tankless water heaters everywhere we’ve been – there’s no shortage of hot water for evening showers!
