A 90 minute early morning drive saw us sipping coffee in a small cafe bar in Fondón. The mountains we had come to climb were clagged in, the approach difficult under fresh snow. An impromptu vote had us heading for the blue skies and sunshine of the Sierra Nevada to the north, another 45 minute journey. Needless to say, we had a great day out hiking above the Puerto de la Ragua. Moral of the story is .. it's ok to change plans. Be flexible!
