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...

Good morning all! A clear day here and you can see the sea from 30 km away. Too hazy to see Morocco, will have to wait for the colder air of autumn.

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...

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.

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 😂

Today we are guiding a couple on Mulhacen. After a poor winter, snow-wise, it seems like things are looking up towards the end of May! 😂 Photos show the summit and clients descending the west flank to...

Just had to stop and take this photo on my way to "work" this morning. The first rays of the sun are illuminating the Alpujarra towns of Bubion and Capileira. The Barranco de Poqueira remains in shade...

Yesterday we hiked the Ruta Gollizno at Moclin. A beautiful descent into a dramatic gorge with rope bridges and a heavily vegetated (cool!) river valley, followed by a tough ascent in the afternoon he...
