Valencia, Spain - morning walk around Canet

 The last couple of days we have stayed home. Rick goes for regular walks, the weather is so pleasant for walking.

The first day I just went for one brief walk and spent the rest of the time completing this, of the church spire in the village.

 

Today, we had planned to catch the bus into Valencia but after a lousy nights sleep I didn't want to deal with the city, so went for a gentle walk around the residential area just north of us.

Blossoms are really emerging now on trees and shrubs.

Even the cacti are getting in on the act.

It's an established neighbourhood with some ultra modern looking infill homes being built.

But most of them have the traditional stucco exterior and tile roofs

Many with terraces, established gardens and solar panels.

Kumquat tree growing over a wall.

There were a row of these trees along the road. I don't know if this is how the leaves start out or if they will be blossoms.

Roof tiles on a wave shaped wall.

A simple but effective roofing material.

Tiles

for

house identification.

There is a large piece of overgrown land with these gates onto the passieg

and a place for the old gates further in. I have been very curious about The Pines.

Through a gate at the side of the property, it looked occupied with a dog sleeping there. But it was all too overgrown for me to get a good shot of the house itself.

Even feral cats want a roll and a stretch.
