Subject: [Leica] Nathan's PAD 22/7/2017: the cemetery in Busot

Because it is hot today and I had some pain in my knee this morning, I did 
only a short 50 km ride this morning, through the mountain villages of 
Aigues and then Busot that form my most frequent weekday route. In Busot, I 
cycled up to the hilltop cemetery to have a look there. In most of the 
villages in the hilly interior of Alicante province (and elsewhere in Spain 
too), the cemetery is at the highest point of the village. I imagine it is 
to avoid flooding of the cemetery during the often violent rains in the 
winter.

The entrance:

The graves and the mountains:

The dead (and the living when they visit) have a great view. The road down 
below is also a standard route for me:

(spot the cyclist if you can)

Cheers,
