Early start on a new hill today. Alto Calabozo 1651m. Small in stature but bags of character. No trails, just a few cairns, goat tracks and bushwhacking to negotiate. It's obvious not many come here....

Possible bad weather up high yesterday so we kept it to a low, short hike. The Ruta Peñuela Forestal in Lanjarón. Who knew such a treasure existed and so close to home. Early lunch in the bar though 😂

Some quiet corners of some of our traditional Alpujarra villages. The roofs are built with traditional materials and some date back to the times of occupation by the Moors. Wonderful places to visit w...

Just had to stop and take this photo on my way to "work" this morning. The first rays of the sun are illuminating the Alpujarra towns of Bubion and Capileira. The Barranco de Poqueira remains in shade...

Came across this spring yesterday with remarkable cooling properties. The Fuente de Corcuela at Moclin. I suspect originally built by it's wonderfully creative Arabic originators. It might have been 3...
