Exploring Valle de Ricote
Hello!
I visited the small historic town of Blanca in a mountainous region known as the Valle de Ricote. It is a medieval town surrounded by vineyards and fruit orchards, with the rio Segura running through it.
I did a lot of walking on this trip as there was much to see and photograph! Luckily the weather was kind which made sightseeing a pleasure.
I climbed through the steep and narrow backstreets of Blanca that lead up to the castle ruins situated on top of the mountain. Sadly there seems very little left of the castle these days but the views over the town and surrounding countryside were spectacular.
This is just a small taste of a beautiful part of southern Spain which was an unexpected joy to discover. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who enjoys clean air, gorgeous scenery and friendly townsfolk.

Those views are gorgeous and those little kittens are adorable.
I love the shot looking past the railing down to the river and the shot of that structure on the hill.
All of the photos are fantastically crisp, like they are taken from a professional travel magazine. Awesome photography as always @gardeningchef!
The views really are amazing, with friendly people and cats to boot. Thank you for your kind words @magiccleatus! Glad you liked this post :)

It truly was a breath of fresh air. Full of fresh fruit and luscious plant life! The locals are very lucky to live there.

Such stunning views beautifully photographed. Must have been an exhilarating walk. Would be great to submit any of the walks you do to @tattoodjay's #WednesdayWalk.
I'm intrigued by the wall paintings in the 6th image. Wonderful image. ♥︎
Thanks very much - the walk up there was pretty hardcore I must say! I had just been on a long hike the day before and then to get to the castle I faced almost vertical uphill stairs... my poor calves! But totally worth it.
I wish I had remembered Jay's Wednesday Walk for this... next time for sure!
The wall painting sure was interesting, caught my eye immediately! Thank you for your comment @allyinspirit :)
Entertain the cat, shake hand with her ;)
Oh I did! The first cat laying down was playing with a moth but the second cat was happy to be stroked and talked to. Thanks for checking out my post @farhan.sidiqui :)
