El Perro Negro's Day to Day Ramblings

We never camp at Laguna Hondera. It's popular, noisy & frequented by hungry foxes. Head a little uphill however & there are some delectable places to bivouac (make sure you don't camp on the fragile "borreguiles", grassy areas adjacent to the lake). We found some pre prepared bivouac spots near Laguna de Borreguil where we watched the sun set & cooked evening meals.Then laid back to watch the stars & milky way pass overhead. Life is simple, but good.

Evening sunlight reflected on the summit of Peñon del Globo and also in the lake below

Our camp situated below Mulhacen. highest mountain in mainland Spain. Morning sunlight hits the top of the mountain. Our camp remains in shadow as is the adjacent lake.
