Been hanging around here today. The "Puente Colgante de El Saltillo" at Canillas de Aceituno in the Sierra de Almijara. An entertaining gorge walk.

Views from my journey to work today. I say "work" rather loosely, as I'm retired but how can a day containing such views be really considered labour? In reality, I would work for free as walking in su...

One of our regular hikes during the spanish summer is up the Rio Santos in the Lecrin Valley, south of Granada. Year-round water means deep, dense vegetation more reminiscent of the Amazon than ! Ther...

Our little bivouac spot on top of the mountain and under the stars. Not exactly salubrious but you wouldn't get me changing this for a night at the Hilton Tozal del Cartujo (3152m), Sierra Nevada, Spa...

The Vasar de Mulhacen is my favourite mountain track in the Sierra Nevada. It crosses the spectacular north face of Mulhacen at half height. Seemingly sensationally exposed but the reality is that it...

Arriving at the ski lifts yesterday we found that the bottom gondola lift was broken and wasn't running. Never mind, one plan closes, gets put on back burner and another one opens. Instead, we dropped...
