Possible bad weather up high yesterday so we kept it to a low, short hike. The Ruta Peñuela Forestal in Lanjarón. Who knew such a treasure existed and so close to home. Early lunch in the bar though 😂

Came across this spring yesterday with remarkable cooling properties. The Fuente de Corcuela at Moclin. I suspect originally built by it's wonderfully creative Arabic originators. It might have been 3...

Yesterday we hiked the Ruta Gollizno at Moclin. A beautiful descent into a dramatic gorge with rope bridges and a heavily vegetated (cool!) river valley, followed by a tough ascent in the afternoon he...

I love these village "fuentes" you find in the villages of the Alpujarra in rural Spain. Built in times long gone by. You just can't beat the sound of running water, especially in these difficult time...

The quiet and quaint little village of Ferreirola in the Alpujarras, this morning, as the initial rays of the sun arrive. Just stunning!

I had to work this morning. Yes the dreaded "W" word!🤣 We did a couple of short routes ... the Ruta Pavilla at Nigüelas followed by the stunning Cascada Alcázar at Conchar (photo beow). You can easily...

Hiking the "Sendero de Pavilla" above the Andalucian town of Nigüelas. A short, but high quality route, on aerial walkways above the valley and alongside irrigation channels
Niguelas, Ruta Pavilla and Falla

"Acequias" flowing freely this morning. Don't think it will be long before they start to dry up though. Love the way the light has created small rainbows to the left of the falls.

Back to Motril to pick up some new mountain sunglasses I had ordered as I sat on the last ones! Still, it's not a chore when you pass such lovely city scenes
Fuentes de Conchar

@AdamBishop Not as frantic as Granada. More relaxed and laid back. Good fish restaurants down the port, as you'd expect
