hortly we clamber down another sharp slope and regain the rambla. This is the Rambla de las Chozas. About three kilometres downstream, if there can be a downstream in a dry riverbed, it decants into the Río de Aguas at Llano del Pino. It’s easier going again now, virtually level. Among the pines lining the left side of the rambla, odd ones are burnt. How could some have caught fire and not others? On the right side are pomegranate trees, with vivid waxy scarlet flowers. Somewhere nearby, a golden oriole’s song comes across the air, a delicate fluting. Corn buntings are singing too, a noise frequently likened to the rattling of a bunch of keys. Various ruins dot the sides of the increasingly wide valley. This was also part of the settlement of Teresa, once the largest village in the Sierra Cabrera.
