At long last we've had some much needed rain, falling as snow above 2000m. Here is the town of Lanjarón seen a few minutes ago with threatening, but very welcoming, rain clouds gathering. Small rainbo...

The northern faces of the Sierra Nevada, Spain seen yesterday from the Alto de Calabozo 1651m

A nice sight to see. Water flowing down the "acequias" (irrigation channel) this morning, illuminated by the morning sun.

Yesterdays walk. Acequia Mezquerina - Tello - Acequia Nueva - Bordaila - Lanjaron - BAR! 15km, 650m ascent, 6 very tranquilo hours!

Autumnal colours whilst hiking the Barranco TinTín (yes, really!) outside Quentar yesterday in Granada Province. A beautiful valley rich in vegetation

Today was a day of sun and shadow in the Cerro Huenes group of peaks in the Cumbres Verdes, south of Granada

One of the scenes that remains very close to my heart. The road leading to town of El Chalten and the Fitzroy (Chalten) and Cerro Torre mountain chain, Patagonia. I have had some wonderful times here...

The wonderful peak of Peñón de la Mata as seen from the Embalse de Cubillas, Granada

Today we've been enjoying stunning views of the northern side of the Spanish Sierra Nevada above Güéjar Sierra. All the main 3000m+ peaks of the ridge clearly seen today, very little haze. The image s...

A bright but very breezy morning here in southern Spain. We recorded very high winds yesterday of over 75 km/hr and incredibly our solar panels manage to stay attached to the house! Similar today I am...

We called off today's proposed scrambling day due to damp limestone rock. Instead the "Nomads" had a nice hike in the solitude of the forests of the Sierra Arana, north of Granada.

View from the morning dog walk all the way down to the Mediterranean. Have a great weekend everybody!
