Having now completed a couple of more hikes I just want to do more. The weather has turned completely to the good for the last few weeks and the trees and flowers are in bloom and the aroma of wild herbs fill the countryside. Not a bad walking environment!
My most interesting to date was the Tour Madeloc, a signal tower built around the 12th century and located a few kilometres behind Collioure. The hike had been spec'd at 6 hours although by utilizing three different trails (on purpose this time) it only took 4 and a half. The views from the top and along the way were spectacular.
Having done this tower there is another within sight of town that I would also like to try. It's a little further off but dosen't appear to be quite so steep in it's approach so I'm hoping to get it in before our all too soon departure from this corner of France.
We will try to continue some hiking with the boys once we leave, I'm trying to pass along to Declan the joy of the outdoors that we have. He already seems to have an eye for details and takes some nice pictures along the way.
I'll get some pics up soon
