Out of the Shadows and into the Sun - ascent of La Maroma, Sierra de Tejeda

Describes an ascent of La Moroma in the Sierra de Tejeda - We drove to La Robledal where we commenced our ascent. We knew this would be a tough day with over 1000m ascent. The initial forest tracks were easy enough, but shortly we left these behind and took to an ever steepening mountain track.

Walk the Canada del Senero, Sierra de Huetor

Walk the Canada del Senero, Sierra de Huetor

A nice 12km walk on a cloudy day through the lush forests along the Cañada del Sereno in the Parque Natural de la Sierra de Huetor. Not the most inspirational of walks given the overcast conditions and general lack of photographic opportunities, but interesting nevertheless. Of special interest were the

Ascent of Penon de la Cruz, Sierra de Huetor

Ascent of Penon de la Cruz, Sierra de Huetor

We headed to the Sierra de Huetor just north of Granada. There was a peak there that I had seen many times from the A92 motorway during my years in Spain. It is called the Penon de la Cruz. I never climbed it before because, quite frankly, it looked a bit uninteresting and boring. How wrong was I?

Puerto de Frigiliana & Mirador de Agua

Puerto de Frigiliana & Mirador de Agua

The Dehesa de Camarate, Lugros

Photos from yesterdays walk in the beautiful Dehesa de Camarate near Lugros. We were a bit early for the October explosion of autumnal colours but a nice walk nevertheless.

Walk the Los Cahorros de Monachil Gorge, Granada

Walk the Los Cahorros de Monachil Gorge, Granada

There's something uniquely satisfying about reading the weather right. 10 minutes after finishing the walk today in the Monachil Gorge the heavens opened. Really good to be back enjoying Los Cahorros near Granada, 15 years since I was last there.
