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,...

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.

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.

@[email protected] I had major problems and was extremely stressed out. Couldn't see me working the remaining 25 years of my working life there. So, I walked out. That same day, just left. Gave u...

Me and Cerro Torre! The closest I ever came to this magnificent mountain, a sight that will live long in the memory. Of course, to get up there I'd need helicopter assist 😂
