Ice Cold in Gorafe
Just had to be my luck, didn't it? My first time hiking in the Gorafe Desert Badlands and temperatures were forecast to be below freezing. Now in my eyes, the words "Desert" and "Freezing" shouldn't go together. "Hot" and "Desert", that would surely be the norm, wouldn't it?

@AdamBishop yes, I am that guidebook writer. Thanks for buying! We have a small local walking group goes out every Tuesday. You'd be welcome to try us out
Cold fingers in the Contraviesa
The "beast from the north" had arrived and the weather was turning colder. The high mountains were out, so we headed for the lower Sierra de Contraviesa hills.
The Reluctant Pathbuilder and the Lentegi Circular

Circular around Puerto Jubiley
Interesting circular walk from the Puerto de Jubiley today. Some impassable obstacles en route involved either a change of plan or swimming!
Rio Verde and the Petrified Waterfall
A circular walk around the head of the Rio Verde on a cold and blustery day.
Walking on the Island of La Palma
Just come back from a week long walking holiday to the island of La Palma. We completed 5 of the best hikes the island has to offer and seen some amazing scenery, especially of the volcanic kind.
Back in the saddle!
Nice to be back out with the walking group today. We headed to the autumnal forests of the Sierra de Huetor, north of Granada to explore some new tracks. Gentle hiking in glorious surroundings. Good to be back.
The Heart of the Watermelon
Life on the edge! Today we've been climbing mountains again. This time the superb summit of Corazon de la Sandia (1885m) on the Alayos de Dilar ridge. Proves you don't always have to climb the highest mountains to get the best thrills!
El Fuerte, the tough one!
Photos from yesterdays ascent of El Fuerte outside Frigiliana. A tough ascent followed by a scrambling descent of it's SW ridge which at times involved combined "tarzan-like" tactics to overcome
Even in August Nature and Beauty prevail
We decided to revisit the quiet and relatively unknown lake of Lagunillo Misterioso, an enchanting place. We would then drop down the streams to see possibly the highest waterfall in the Sierra Nevada, the Chorreras de Molinillo.
Las Campanitas Ridge to Veleta
The ridge didn't let our expectations down. It is a magnificent scramble, probably Grade 3 in places. The highlight for me is the spiky pinnacle of Campario which soars like a needle up intto the sky. It is an impressive and intimidating sight.
Camp at Laguna Peñon Negro
Yesterday in the heat of the afternoon we made our way uphill to a remote lake, rarely visited, that we had never been to before. Laguna de Peñón Negro.
Threading the Raspones Ridge
This was an interesting day. Interesting as it crossed some terrain I have never trodden before, threading the Raspones ridge.
Hard Going on the Tozal del Cartujo ridge
A tough return for me to high mountain scrambling on this mountaineering ascent of the north ridge of Tozal del Cartujo in Spain's Sierra Nevada
