El Molino de Cabuerniga, Sopena 15 March 2022

For our final site in Spain we chose Cabuérniga which is a hamlet on the banks of the Rio Saja. Our favourite of all the sites on this trip. The local area reminded us of Austrian Alpine meadows. The site itself was practically empty which added to the tranquility. The green fields and livestock also reminded us of Exmoor!

El Molino de Cabuerniga, Sopena campsite – very quiet!
Some of the locals complete with bells.
Another local.
Sheep driving Spanish style. Not a dog or ATV in sight! the shepherd must have something tasty in his pockets.
The Rio Saja. Definitely worth fishing next trip.
Heron impression.
Rio Saja with cliffs behind.
Sunset over the campsite. The “La Calima” phenomenon (wind-borne Sahara sand) caused the evening and the following morning to have an eerie red sky. Red sand was everywhere!
