Been out hiking this afternoon in a new area (for me). The Sierra Arana north of Granada has some superb, quiet mountain and forest scenery.

@AdamBishop Thanks. Yes, Peñon de la Cruz. From the summit, I think one of the best 360° views in Granada province.

The pretty village of Sorvilán in the Sierra de Contraviesa. Slow, sleepy Spanish life where time has seemingly stood still. Superb views south over the sea towards Morocco.

Ice Cold in Gorafe
Just had to be my luck, didn't it? My first time hiking in the Gorafe Desert Badlands and temperatures were forecast to be below freezing. Now in my eyes, the words "Desert" and "Freezing" shouldn't go together. "Hot" and "Desert", that would surely be the norm, wouldn't it?

Last of the evening sun illuminates the torn, twisted and chaotic upheaval that comprises the Desierto del Gorafe. In the distance, the snow capped peaks of the Sierra de Cazorla.
