Last night I stayed in the pretty town of Cómpeta, so that today I'm around early to join a group hiking in the Sierra de Almijara. This scene is typical of the villages in this area

Nice to be out with my two daughters yesterday. They joined a group I was out with above the Hoya del Portillo in Spain's Sierra Nevada. Lovely day, nice temperatures and the predicted afternoon storm...

It's 37C outside. You are in the midst of a fierce spanish summer. Either "head for the hills" or as we did today, head to some dramatic local gorges and refreshing, cooling waters. Marvellous! Rio Sa...

After a night in the hills I came back home to Lanjarón to be met by the towns annual week-long fiesta. A celebration of colour and noise. Senses a bit blown. Enjoyed it, but think I prefer the quiet...

Mixed weather over the Sierra Nevada meant we opted for a quiet mid week hike to an old favourite, Pico Lopera in the Sierra de Almijara. A relatively easy circular walk to a superb viewpoint in all d...

Whilst hiking on the "Ruta Medieval" through the Alpujarras today I came across this little magical section of forest with a waterfall illuminated through a gap in the tree foliage. The colour is due...

Some street scenes from Granada today with a hiking group having a rest day off from the mountains. I'd forgotten how vibrant and photogenic the city is. It's frantic one moment yet utterly peaceful a...

Morning all. An early morning dog walk for me because today, for one day only, I am heading out of my comfort zone into the big city (Granada). This a photo of my town, Lanjarón.

Hiking down the Rambla de Durcal on the western side of the Spain's Sierra Nevada range.

A few photos from yesterday's very tough and tiring but ultimately exciting and enjoyable romp around Las Buitreras del Durcal. Amazing, spectacular scenery and just 20 minutes drive from home. N.B Th...

Early start on a new hill today. Alto Calabozo 1651m. Small in stature but bags of character. No trails, just a few cairns, goat tracks and bushwhacking to negotiate. It's obvious not many come here....

Possible bad weather up high yesterday so we kept it to a low, short hike. The Ruta Peñuela Forestal in Lanjarón. Who knew such a treasure existed and so close to home. Early lunch in the bar though 😂

Came across this wonderful old tree in the gorge below Moclin last week. I'm not good enough on tree ID to know what type it is, but I just love the complicated way the vines interlink and become at o...
