Viladrau
Slowing into a rural life style—to
the extent we can, as visitors—we begin the first mountain walk of our stay.
Not every sign post meets our approval, in the heat of a sunny spring day. Yon
tree is not the tree depicted on this brochure, a problem sure to get my coat
off, my sleeves imagined rolled. The sensation then returns—smallness in
relation. Viladrau is renowned for its mineral springs. And its natural beauty.
In the distance the mountain grows, and an ease to pause flows more easily in
the visitors’ step. Run down weathered doors return the occasional walker to
the beaten path. Eyes now keener toward the lichen and the drop.
Mediterranean scrubland—
and the branch tip
through rubble walls.
