The Sella to Relleu leg of the rally started just outside the village early on Saturday morning and then later in the morning many of the cars passed again through the village on their way to Confrides for the next leg. This years rally attracted 69 entrants - good luck to all and drive safe!

Inspired by Leo Houlding - Eric Holding On!

Hi everyone, Eric here - I know that a few of you have been wondering what I've been up to? Well, after watching Alastair Lee's brilliant film The Asgard Project, which follows British 'rock star' Leo Houlding as he makes the first free ascent of the mile high Mt Asgard on Baffin Island (deep in the Arctic) I have to admit that I was left feeling a bit inspired. They say that a picture speaks a thousand words, so heres a couple of grands worth - the first's an Asgard pic of Leo, and the second's an Asgard vid of . . . . . . well just take a look!

Picnic in the Clouds

We enjoyed a very atmospheric 5 hour picnic at the top of the Tagarina Valley. It was a continual cycle of clouds descending and clinging to the mountains before the sun would burn through and disperse them and then the process would start again.

Church Tower Under Wraps

Although there has been a lot in the news over the last few years about Spanish authorities cracking down on illegal properties (ie those built without the correct planning permissions) and in some cases even the demolition of such properties, we believe that this is not the case with the Sella village church of Santa Ana.

Although currently under wraps (scaffolding) we believe that this is just to enable repairs to the tower to be carried out, as opposed to demolition because some higher authority does not have his paperwork in order!
