Eerie sunset tonight in Lanjaron, partly due to the Sahara dust still lurking about

Some beautiful and somewhat lonely trees highlighted by the low winter sun's rays
Exploratory day hike today and all within a short drive from home. This range of mountains lies between Lentegi and Albuñuelas, a complicated mass of peaks, ridges, deep valleys and dry ramblas. Mostly on faint tracks. Simply stunning!

@neonbubble cracking game, nail biting finish and a well deserved win
@tapasinthesun I think so
@jds so interesting to see your images from the "other" #SierraNevada. Must visit one day
@tapasinthesun I think I'm right in saying that those palms were originally imported for the film, Lawrence of Arabia
@tapasinthesun this is part of our winter walking week with him. This particular hike we call the Almond Blossom walk that fits nicely in with one of his books. We also run 2 spring and 2 autumn walking weeks with him. He's an interesting guy
Lovely walk with Chris Stewart and his group today visiting the quiet villages of Sorvilan and Polopos in the Sierra de Contraviesa. Sea, sun, colour and good banter.
Recommended to do this beautiful hike, especially when the almond blossom is in full bloom. Bars at start and end!

Pretty in Pink! Almond Blossom today in the Sierra de Contraviesa hills, south of Granada, Spain. Looking south towards the Mediterranean Sea

@AdamBishop yes, I am that guidebook writer. Thanks for buying! We have a small local walking group goes out every Tuesday. You'd be welcome to try us out
Been out this afternoon scouting out the "Ruta Boabdil" in the Lecrin Valley. In particular the 12km stage between Albuñuelas and Conchar.
Ruta Boabdil Highlights:
* Length 113km, 2726m of ascent
* 14 convenient stages of between 7km and 12km in length
* Passing through 18 villages
* Each stage starting and ending in a village/town

Jumping for joy! I said, "Isaac, whatever you do, if you are going to stumble and fall, please do it to your right" 🤣
The approach to the spectacular and easily identifiable mountain of Trevenque (2079m) along the dry rambla of the Arenales valley. Cumbres Verdes range near Granada, Spain
#hiking #spain #granada #landscapephotography #landscape #walking
@tapasinthesun Start at Collado Sevilla only 20 minutes from Granada ring road. We did the "Arenales" approach to Trevenque and returned via Cortijo Rosales and above the Dilar valley. 4.5hrs. Superb walk although the Sahara dust in the air didn't help the air clarity.
@ChaHarper Brilliant photo, love the colours and light changes
Is it Mordor? Nah, it's the peak of Boca de la Pesca in the Cumbres Verde range of hills near Granada, with the deep valley of the Rio Dilar to it's left. Have seen it looking more like Mordor though, when temperature inversion blankets the valley floor in low level cloud.

@SmallTownGirl thank you
Got to do something very strange this week. I've got to work! Difficult for a semi-retired, aging "has been"😀. A couple I guided way back in Mallorca in 2001 and again in Skye in 2002 have just got in touch, out of the blue. How amazing is that. So in fact, it's not really work and money that is the motivation, it's the re connection with people and memories from the past. Looking forward to it.
@tapasinthesun It amazing how many movies are shot still in the area. Even came across an episode of the Crown last week that was shot there.
@tapasinthesun I remember during a walk, meeting the film crew who were shooting some scenes in the Rambla Tabernas (near the Oasis). Security kept popping heads out of the bushes as we ate our sandwiches 😂
@tapasinthesun was that the remake of Exodus directed by Ridley Scott?
Beautiful light tonight over the Tajo Colorao and Lanjarón as the clouds roll in over the Alpujarras

Arko enjoyed his walk this morning especially as there was plenty of mud to get his nozzle into!
Today's dog walk, the "Ruta Pescados" near Lanjaron in the Alpujarras. A newly developed trail once used to bring fish from the coast to the town. Beautiful walk with great views of the Cerro de Caballo

@tapasinthesun Interesting. I've just bought a 40mm prime lens. Nice balance between wide angle and standard. Still getting to grips with it though
@[email protected] @eleventy good summary of recommended SSGs. Agree totally.
Trying out the new 40mm prime lens on this morning's dog walk.
@tapasinthesun next time you're passing through let's take a coffee?
@tapasinthesun lived here 20+ years now
@tapasinthesun Fantastic. My home town!
@BikingViking @jds its where they filmed the old "spaghetti westerns" in the 60s and 70s.
@bufordk @volla Ive used Graphene, Lineage, Ubuntu Touch and /e/OS but the Volla seems the most accomplished I've used so far. Still to try out Sailfish on the Volla 22
@bufordk @volla there's no google related services at all on the phone. Came like that. Not even Play Store. That's replaced by FDroid and/or Aurora
The amazing Cerro Alfaro!
A superb ascent of this wonderful peak. Winter is the perfect time to visit the Tabernas desert badlands, with clear blue skies and incredible clarity in the air.

@tapasinthesun @tapasinthesun try this link which will take you to a pdf download explaining the geology of the Tabernas basin

Tortured scenery! Cerro Alfaro from the badlands to the north. In fact this shot was taken from the point at which the tank went over the cliff in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" and Harrison Ford then appeared climbing up from the cliffs below.

There's no finer feeling than reaching the summit. Cerro Alfaro, Almeria

@bergmeister Beautiful
Strange rock formations in the "Valley of the Dragons Tails", Tabernas desert badlands

@BadExampleMan superseded by a newer highway alongside. 1 car passed us in 30 minutes
@fonecokid Good morning to you too! Enjoy your day
@tapasinthesun I know where this is. A small valley, incredible rock formations. Went there last Monday
@tapasinthesun beautiful. Seriously tempted to buy a film camera again. Excuse my ignorance, how do you digitalise?
Today we've been enjoying the spectacular views of mountains, deserts and sea from one of my favourite mountains, Cerro Alfaro near Almeria. Might "only" be a mere 744m in height, but a challenging and high quality ascent and descent nevertheless.
Desert badlands and high mountains, Andalucia has it all!. Mulhacén and Alcazaba in the Sierra Nevada seen today from 80km away to the east from the summit of Cerro Alfaro, Tabernas, Almeria.
@florian interesting. You've started the wheels turning in my mind
