According to the following article, we expected an area with many cherry trees around the village of Alfarnate: diariosur.es/economia/agroalimentacion/abril-florecen-cerezos-20190411000253-ntvo.html
But when we arrived, we did not see a single cherry tree. We asked an old man, he helped us to find an open cherry orchard with delicious cherries. We were 6 hungry people, eating a lot and taking more for the way. The farmer would certainly not be happy after noticing the loss, given the work he puts into the plantation. There was a house, we pushed € 20 through the door slot with some words on paper. We hope, he gets it well...

The landscape was very beautiful, green mountains and hills, a big lake and the Mediterranean ... We all enjoyed the tour. One of the participants went straight after the Walkabout back to the cherry orchard.

We went through this gap in the mountains, 1,140 m high.

Now we're there, looking down to the other side, ...

... Alfarnate and it's surroundings.
