Hiking the "Sendero de Pavilla" above the Andalucian town of Nigüelas. A short, but high quality route, on aerial walkways above the valley and alongside irrigation channels

"Acequias" flowing freely this morning. Don't think it will be long before they start to dry up though. Love the way the light has created small rainbows to the left of the falls.

Been out hiking this afternoon in a new area (for me). The Sierra Arana north of Granada has some superb, quiet mountain and forest scenery.
