Rawfood Gathering - South Spain

27 Mar - 7 April 2015  ★  After 3 times (2012, 2013, 2014) celebrating the gathering 1.500 m high up in the mountains in the Sierra de Cazorla, we decided to do it this time on a more accessable place close to Álora/Málaga. Because it was private land, we made the gathering shorter than the others: less than two weeks. There we used the nice spot of Patrick and Renate, at the river Guadalhorce. We heard dogs and trains in the night, also we saw lights from surrounded houses, but all in all it was a really nice peaceful gathering with wonderful brothers and sisters, up to 40 at full moon. One brother shared his knowledge how to make Terra Preta with compost, shit and chracoal. It helps both the earth being fertile in a long term and the climate by reducing the greenhouse effect. We are thinking, this concept could and should improve the way of shitpit and compost disposal on Rainbow Gatherings. We had no rain on the gathering, and it was quite warm.

Rawfood Walkabout - South Spain

7 - 12 Apr 2015  ★  10 people left the Rawfood Gathering at April 07, to hike in direction North to the amazing mountains of El Chorro and the big nice water reservoirs, later we were 9 people. We had luck with the weather, because it was only a little raining and not too hot. We entered also the Caminito del Rey.

Rawfood Walkabout - South Spain

24 - 27 Aug 2015  ★  We were 3 people, starting from my land near Nerja (Málaga) and walking north.  There is a beautiful river, Río Chillar, 17 km long.  After 12 km a path starts up from the river to the right, then parallel to the river, then up to the mountains (about the history of this path).  We wanted to try this route.  But after a while one of us gave up, the path was too bushy and exhausting for him.  He stayed in a cave by the river for a while and returned to Nerja.  Jean Claude and I continued the bushy path, we passed an old farm that has been a ruin since about 1960, the Cortijo Iman.  We continue along the path, there are bushes again, and sometimes even blackberries.  But we keep going, taking a shortcut up into the mountains through the wilderness, then up the ridge to Nava Chica (1,830m) and Almendron (1,520m) and finally back down to the Río Chillar and back home.  Our companion was sick, he had a contagious form of Staphylococcus.  Jean Claude and I also got infected, as did many of our neighbors.  Symptoms were wounds that didn't heal but got bigger.  Some of us took antibiotics, our companion even had an operation in the hospital.
