Guajar Faraguit

As the past couple of weeks have been quite hectic I decided it was a jolly good idea to head off to the peace and quiet. A gentle stroll to a sunny spot above Guájar Faraguit. Utopia. Didn't take long to drift into a dreamscape. Some while later for a split second it went dark and I awoke with a start. Ah, the shadow of circling eagles. Best I head back to mi casa.

Factoid: Only 20 minutes from the coastal resort of Salobrena, this is Moorish Spain at its best. With the ancient Muslim terracing and irrigation systems still used to this day, Los Guajares is a sub tropical valley south of Granada sandwiched between the mountain ranges of Sierra del Chaparral and Sierra de Los Guajares. The valley contains three sparkling white villages that time has passed by, Guájar Fondon, Guájar Faraguit and Guájar Alto. History seems to have paused in this valley where the quietness is only disrupted by the sound of the fresh water running down the streams that invites the visitor to meditate and enjoy the intimate atmosphere.
