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

[Nathan Wajsman]

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