A very spring like day today in the Alpujarra with sunshine and showers expected throughout the day. This is Lanjarón.

One of the small waterfalls at Cascada de Prado Negro, Sierra de Huetor yesterday. Stunning!

Breathtaking hike through the Sierra de Huétor today 🌄☀️ Took a scenic loop via Fuente Los Potros, Las Mimbres, and Fuente Manuel Molinillo. Glorious sunshine and uninterrupted views of the Sierra Nev...

The ridge leading to the peak of La Concha 1215m in Spain's Sierra Blanca mountains. The cloud kept drifting in and out but this made for some superb atmospheric conditions.

Some images from yesterdays hike in the badlands of Tabernas, Almeria. A cold day but this made the skies crystal clear of either the heat haze or the Saharan dust that normally plague this area

Mulhacén 3482m this morning from the western side of the Barranco del Poqueira. Looking up the valley towards the Refugio Poqueira, the town on the right is Capileira.

The stormy weather here in Andalucia continues. And isn't it just magnificent!

The clearest day for some time allowed for a glimpse of the Cerro de Caballo 3009m today. Lots of fresh snow, high avalanche risk and gale force winds mean the mountains remain out of bounds. More bad...

The trail to the mountain! Walking yesterday along the GR7 long distance path from Juviles to the town of Trevélez in the Sierra Nevada. Although the summits are out of view the mountain ahead is that...

A superb view of the main Sierra Nevada mountain range from the Sierra de Huetor to the north.

Quick trip back to UK saw me in the lovely Kentmere Valley on a bitterly cold and blustery day with extensive hill mists. Instead of the intended Kentmere Horseshoe we wisely opted for the lowly Yoke...

The clouds had come in as we headed back down to the cars from Morrón Hornillo. Suddenly the mists cleared and a strange horizontal window opened up below the vast expanse of grey skies

Even on the bad days it can still pay to "get out there" hiking. You never know! Very high winds over the higher mountains today so we headed down to the Guajares Valley and hiked a circular route bet...

Good morning! Somewhere Over the Rainbow ... lies the village of Guajar Alto. We had just ascended from Guajar-Fondon to it's impressive Castillo when the rain stopped and the sun arrived

Poor weather up high yesterday so we headed south to the Sierra de los Guajares range where we found warm sunshine and light winds. Starting from above the town of Molvízar we climbed steeply up to th...

Evening light over Lanjaron and the cliffs of Tajos Colorao tonight. Clouds building over the Sierra Nevada behind

As we had never been to these mountains before we called this walk "The Sierras We've Never Heard Of"! The Sierra Elvira lie just NW of Granada city. Good motorway connections mean the start is just 4...

Back in southern Spain our group hiked up the Silleta de Padul from Padul (S of Granada). A nice 12km circular hike with 850m ascent/descent. Much of interest, including spectacular views of the Sierr...

As a young inner city kid, in 1971 I was introduced to the hills. We spent some days camping & climbing the mountains surrounding the Newlands Valley in England's Lake District. Last week I returned t...
