The pretty village of Sorvilán in the Sierra de Contraviesa. Slow, sleepy Spanish life where time has seemingly stood still. Superb views south over the sea towards Morocco.

The amazing Cerro Alfaro! A superb ascent of this wonderful peak. Winter is the perfect time to visit the Tabernas desert badlands, with clear blue skies and incredible clarity in the air.
