Your beer should always be treated with much love. What better way to cool it down than by immersing in pure mountain waters at 3000 metres? N.B Dear Steinburg ... would you like to sponsor me?

The spectacular climb yesterday out of the Guarñon valley via the trail known as the "Veredon Inferior" in Spain's Sierra Nevada mountains.

Yesterday we used the spectacular trail leading down into the Coral del Veleta and access to Veleta (3394m) north face. An awesome place!

A blast from the past ... heading out onto the Aiguille du Midi arête, heart in mouth! The Grand Jorasses behind. Space all around. My first time in the Alps, 1983

It's 37C outside. You are in the midst of a fierce spanish summer. Either "head for the hills" or as we did today, head to some dramatic local gorges and refreshing, cooling waters. Marvellous! Rio Sa...

@JimsPhotos I have to say that my favourite is the diminutive and friendly Alpine Accentor. Found in the high mountains here in Spain above 2000 metres

@andrewbriscoe Not sure. I was trying to identify it, as it's spectacular looking. Due south of Marion Lake. Map says its 7600 feet. Some amazing scenery in that region, despite the flying bugs!

It's a long time since I went up Mulhacén, in fact pre heart problem in 2019. First time to 3482m altitude on the highest mountain in mainland Spain. Of course, today we went up the finest way to the...

After a night in the hills I came back home to Lanjarón to be met by the towns annual week-long fiesta. A celebration of colour and noise. Senses a bit blown. Enjoyed it, but think I prefer the quiet...

After debating with myself for 30 mins about whether to venture out into the cold to answer the call of nature I eventually left my tent. The sky was amazing. I guess then was not the time to start le...

Images from the last 2 days trip to visit "Lake with No Name" at 2900m altitude! A magical, serene place where nature ruled. Humans don't often visit here, if ever. My head is filled with images and e...

We arrived at the "lake with no name" yesterday afternoon. At the exit of the lake a delightful stream fell out of the hidden valley. I don't normally take a tripod, yesterday I did. Meant I could slo...

Mixed weather over the Sierra Nevada meant we opted for a quiet mid week hike to an old favourite, Pico Lopera in the Sierra de Almijara. A relatively easy circular walk to a superb viewpoint in all d...
