Hey Jozero - I was almost in your neck of the woods on the island !! Hiked the JdeF Trail in gorgeous terrain and weather and have to return for more..... the WCT, Nookta or NCT ! Have you hiked any of these ? I'm off to Madrid in Oct to finish the VdlP from Salamanca. You can PM me if that's better :)
