And this is the beautifully situated Refugio Collado Jermoso in the Picos de Europa. A proper, "old school", refuge. Cosy, a bit cramped, but very friendly with great food and all at a really fair pri...

Like a scene from "Lord of the Rings", today we enjoyed the spectacular delights of the Garganta de Cares gorge in the Picos de Europa. We missed breakfast and set off in the dark to catch the morning...

Been hanging around here today. The "Puente Colgante de El Saltillo" at Canillas de Aceituno in the Sierra de Almijara. An entertaining gorge walk.

Last night I stayed in the pretty town of Cómpeta, so that today I'm around early to join a group hiking in the Sierra de Almijara. This scene is typical of the villages in this area

Nice to be out with my two daughters yesterday. They joined a group I was out with above the Hoya del Portillo in Spain's Sierra Nevada. Lovely day, nice temperatures and the predicted afternoon storm...

Views from my journey to work today. I say "work" rather loosely, as I'm retired but how can a day containing such views be really considered labour? In reality, I would work for free as walking in su...

Good morning to you all from Lanjarón in the Alpujarras, Spain where it's building up to be another fine day after some early morning low cloud inversion. Enjoy your Sunday!

One of our regular hikes during the spanish summer is up the Rio Santos in the Lecrin Valley, south of Granada. Year-round water means deep, dense vegetation more reminiscent of the Amazon than ! Ther...

Storm clouds building over Lanjarón this evening. Much needed rain this evening and tomorrow hopefully

Well that was a first. I've been involved in a few rescues in my time, but never been asked to rescue two surfboards stuck in a gorge! They evidently got stuck yesterday when the high winds separated...
