The ponds are the first leg of
our walk, and we recommend a short rest here before continuing.
The surroundings are quite peculiar: Two ponds; one high, one low.
They are surrounded by low bush, rosemary, sage, etc
Also
worth mentioning is the ësconjuradero¨ or ¨de-speller.¨
A simple stone structure whose arches are oriented toward the cardinal
points. At these magical places the people used to ¨de-spell¨
hail storms (thought the work of witches) through ritual and prayer.
Back on the trail toward The Abrigos de Quizans, we leave the pools
behind and follow the way to the ridge with views of The Vero River
and The Clusas wall face. Follow the dirt road for a bit until we
see the off-path to the right that leads to Quizans.
On the way we will note small stone dwellings inspired by old shepherd
shacks typical of The Guara Sierra. They can be used as landmarks
to guide us or as shelter in case of bad weather as they are in
perfect condition.
