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 Sierra Nevada mountains and the rock arch of "Piedra Ventana". Give it a go!

Nearly Christmas and we were fortunate to be able to walk around in t-shirts and shorts

A rock arch forms a window to lower ground and olive groves. Some people climb up through the window
