GR-92 (Part 3) Sneak peek.

The summer is over, the heat is going down; so it's time to continue with the GR-92 path. 

We started in June but we had to stop it because it was too hot to take these stages along the summer. Now that we are in the fall we're able to walk again!

This last weekend we did the third one (from Cadaqués to Roses) with a couple of friends.

Here are some of the pictures I took during the day.
