Cistus or Jara

Cistus or Jara
Sierra de La Cabrera. Rock rose. Spanish has cistus and also jara (jara, apparently means smelling of sh.t in arabic).
But I don't get it. Yes, there can be a heady, cloying, almost sickly air on some days but usually the aroma, mixed in with the lavender, rosemary and thyme is to die for!

There are many paths and you can choose the degree of ease or difficulty as you wish. But prior knowledge is useful and there aren't many guides to the area. I initially used one written in the early 90s by an ex-pat Englishwoman and I still use it. It's very good but is now sometimes out of date, paths get blocked off due to ownership of land disputes, whole areas become forested and the paths vanish, rockfalls obliterate some paths, etc etc!

It is a beautiful view Andy - but the flowers look gorgeous and the scent sounds great, well apart from the sh.t part!!!!
