I had never heard of the Cami de Ronda before but in researching it I discovered the GR pathways. These seem to have been (are in the process of being) completed by our friends in the EU. Grande Route 92 takes in the old Cami de Ronda in North Eastern Spain.
Now, this begs some important questions. What about the rest of the GR92 that’s supposed to go all the way to the Southern tip of Spain at Punta de Tarifa? And. Where are the rest? What might they offer? Including the magical GR1? Who got the first one?

I am blessed. I have to admit it. I am a very lucky man. I have three wonderful daughters and now a wonderful grand-daughter all of whom are never, nor will ever, be a burden to me. And in the last year or so I’ve travelled to lots of beautiful places and seen them as nature intended – from my feet.
I often reflect on the finite character of these small adventures afterwards. Dwelling both on my fading physical ability and my continued existence so, I suspect that it will have to be horses for courses in the not too distant future. For certainly a seventy-year-old me could not complete some of the sections of this. Feet and knees will be a constant problem. Still, what’s wrong with a little pain in the portfolio.

I went askew many times, both planned and not. And though it cost me time and miles, in the end it all adds into the glorious mix. As I’m sure someone said, “Getting lost is nothing. Finding your way again can be everything.”

I liked this route a lot and can’t help but compare the beaches I experienced with those I see on Google maps. Not much in the way of sand visible there, just wall-to-wall people. Again, this comes back to how lucky I am in being able to travel out of season. I stumble down from the cliff paths to the bays and coves and then discover that I am often the sole tramper on the sand.

BTW. GR1 crosses Spain from the med to the Atlantic starting in Empúries. (Where I didn’t get to see the ruins.) 1200K’s worth of Northern Spain’s mountains.
