I've travelled this road from the Sierra Nevada mountains down to the village of Nigüelas many times. The final kilometers enter a spectacular gorge, but the light has never been right for an image. E...

Beautiful late afternoon hazy sunshine highlighting the rooftops of Lanjarón in Granada province.

Exploring the quiet Toril valley in the Sierra Nevada yesterday. A moody day with cloud over the snow covered peaks but some spells of sunshine pushing through during the afternoon. The head of the To...

View from the morning dog walk. Snow from 2700 metres upwards on the south side of Cerro de Caballo, Sierra Nevada

One of my favorite hikes in the northern Sierra Nevada reaches the Cortijos del Hornillo from the Vereda de la Estrella. From here the north faces of the Sierra Nevada look like something from the Alp...

Heading up the Vereda de Estrella trail on yesterday's hike. This is a wonderful walk, especially with the autumn colors and when the northern faces of Alcazaba 3371m and Mulhacén 3482m have snow on t...

Photos from the Tabernas desert badlands hike I did a few days ago. The whole area is a a chaotic mass of broken rock and battered, crumbling cliffs

Today I hiked in a place close to my heart and stood in the exact same footsteps as Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach in "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly". This view never fails to stir the senses, I love i...

Good morning all. Some strong winds overnight meant a stunning sunrise here in Lanjaron this morning.

The first overnight rains for a few months last night. I love the freshness after autumn rains. Cloudy today but a break in the clouds allowing the sun to shine down on the town of Lanjaron in the Alp...

Cerro Huenes is in the Cumbres Verdes range W of the Sierra Nevada. Start is 15 mins drive from the Granada ring road. Pleasant hiking on good trails over numerous mountains, returning through foreste...

Last week I sat for nearly an hour on the very airy summit of a peak called Puntal de la Cornisa 3316m. A fine viewpoint & wonderful place to chill out It's good to have some time on your own once in...

Bit warm to be walking below 2000 meters but the cool breeze and forest foliage helped. Yesterday we did a walk in the Sierra de Huetor, combining the Cañada del Senero with an off piste ascent of Cer...

Views from the morning dog walk. Have a great week y'all. Lanjaron, Alpujarras.

Arrival of the sun at Laguna Borreguil, Siete Lagunas in Spain's Sierra Nevada mountain range this morning

Definite autumnal feel to the morning dog walk. Lovely colors, especially when the first rays of the sun hit the hillsides. Cooler with a slight breeze. Maybe end of the early morning/pre sunrise star...
