The ancient village settles below
The mountains they surround
And high up on the hilltop they are guarded by a cross with Jesus Christ tied by hands and feet bound
We climbed to the very top
Rock after rock we did not stop
First La croix, to admire the view
The village below, pale walls, shutters of blue
Next we walked and climbed,carefully taking our time
A Fort sits on the top, crafted by the Saxons
Men of strong build and hair of flaxen
450 metres above ground, so quiet not a sound
The remains a joy to see, just my loved one and me
The village is of Moorish beginnings
Has ancient street names, restaurants and bars
You can drive through with your car
But take the hike to the top and you will be winning
The view the reward, on a clear day you can see to the Alps
Your heart will thank you with little palps
Your body will thank you feeling sprightly
Your mind will thank you feeling rightly
A day of energy and fun, a day spent in the warming sun
A day to remember another day when winter is here, a day to remember and to bring you much cheer
Spent the morning climbing a mountain, so worth the view, it was mild when we started raging heat by the time we had got back but so enjoyed it
