Friday is watering day for us here in the campo. Great to see the olive and lemon trees being nourished in the morning sun. Our young avocados and apples need it every couple of days. Rewarding.

Last night, as part of the annual fiesta we had the "Noche de Agua", the world's biggest water fight. An hour of mayhem that finishes at 1am and is followed by hours of partying in the town. Exciting,...

I've upgraded our Petzl Via Ferrata lanyards in preparation for our forthcoming July trip to the Dolomites. These "Scorpio Vertigos" weigh only 380 each (+ pully) so are quite a weight saving on the p...

First light reaches the mountains of the Alayos del Dilar group with Corazon de la Sandia prominent. Behind the outskirts of the city of Granada.

Did the very entertaining Via Ferrata at Castala yesterday with Dexter and Felipe. Ladders, walkways, balance bar, Tyrolean traverses, wire bridges, pendulums. Also 2 abseils - 18m and 30m. Lots of fu...

@Drwave you might enjoy the three great cities of the south? Granada, Cordoba and Sevilla. Colorful, vibrant and traditional

La Ruta Peñuela above Lanjarón in the Alpujarras. Yesterday's half day hiking route through forests and open hillsides above the town.

We had a great hike yesterday checking out the upper valleys and streams that flow into the Rio Bermejo above Pitres. We found a blank part of the map with no hiking trails, which made for an exciting...

Thanks to my mate Felipe for persuading me to rock climb after an absence of about 10 years! We did the marvellous 5 pitch Espolon Cerro del Toro outside Motril. I felt really comfortable apart from t...

@ehproque I like Alhambra of course. Just sometimes, I yearn for some old fashioned beer 🙂

Been cleaning the public path adjacent to our land, partly to ease hikers access but also to reduce any fire hazard. Sat down having a well deserved (and wholly ncessary) can of ice cold Speckled Hen...

@Steveb La Zubia itself is just a suburb of Granada but is an excellent place for easy access to the stunning Cumbres Verdes mountains (5 mins drive away). Weather now warming up, should be ideal next...
