SNOW HOUSES - NEST WALK

I blogged about THE NEST WALKS that take place up in Sierra Espuña. They organise easy social walks and outings, where you can discover beautiful places and scenery and make friends and socialise.

On the 30th of September they are doing a "SNOW HOUSES WALK"
The walks cost 5 euros and you must book in advance and receive confirmation of booking, afterwards you can choose to go to a restaurant with everyone to eat, the restaurants cost between 8-10 euros for the Menu del Dia.

Below is a video of the snow houses.




See description below:

"Starts at 10.30am at El Berro car park which is opposite Camping Sierra Espuna and we´ll car share to the spectacular heights of Sierra Espuna to start our easy walk to see the famous Snow Houses in the mountains, where in days gone by, people used them to store snow and ice for later use in spring and summer, when they´d take ice down to the coast on donkeys at night, to make ice creams with and to use in hospitals. We will see some spectacular views and have the chance of seeing wildlife such as eagles and arrui, not to mention the possibility of wild boar at the restaurant later on! It´s an easy short walk of approx 2 hours and we never rush anyone. We believe in admiring the views and having time to chat without getting puffed, and we appreciate that we all need to be relaxed and wait for the slower ones and make sure they´re alright and not left behind! Then we´ll go and eat in one of our favourite restaurants in Sierra Espuna where it´s sometimes possible to see wild boar. The meal is optional but most people love to come along and socialise after the walk! "
