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!

I only mentioned it because a) that is the meaning of the word and 2) I am completely baffled by it!
The scent is perfectly agreeable!

And at this point, a stone's throw away from Madrid!
It amazes me how close to a major capital city you can get this! The reason is that they all live in flats here, whereas in the UK we all live in houses with gardens which eat up all the countryside!

No climbing involved, just a gentle country stroll, Peter!
Very many thanks!
Best wishes,
Andy
