Did this beautiful walk on Saturday. Still have to write it up, but here are some preliminary pics :)

Great stuff Tamara. Looking forward to seeing your full write up.

I've got lots of pictures from my last trip to sort out too, here's one of my efforts from LaPared:

Looks stunning Tamara. Can you give us details of the actual start point and end point and total distance? We are next over with friends in April and they may well be interested in a walk like this.

Tamara, that's another superb blog and set of pictures, and really inspiring.

Is the line you walked the same as the GR131 leg from La Pared to Risco del Paso, or does that run further inland?

cheers duncolm :)

The GR131 runs quite a bit more inland, and only comes reasonably close to the shore in two or three places, never going down to that ledge we walked at all.

My guess is they didn't want to mark an "official" footpath so close to the shore so as not to be held responsible for any accidents.
