The next day, we left for the Serranìas a stretch of mountains and green-moss rivers and pine forests. We made our way to the café at the top of the mountain near geologicas.
We drank beers and then entered the geologicas - a regional park of river-washed stones in the shapes of mushrooms and bears and silly things. I told Susie that the wonder of this place compared to the bizarreness of Southern Utah. Hot springs and caves, and corridors and fissures. It is much like an ancient city, although the blocks of giant limestone here come from the erosion of millenia.
We left from the geologicas to the walled city of turolenses, an eighth century Muslim fortress built on a geological 'island' between two green rivers which fork into each other. Necessity crowded the city out to the brink of its walled-cliffs, so that the houses and apartments hang over its vegetated cliffs.
