La Sierra de La Cabrera, granite territory.

Not much flat ground around here then Andy.

Correct, Roger; which is just how I like it!
For flat, you need to descend to the plain below, where the rain in Spain always stays (!).
Very many thanks and have a great weekend!

Erhard,
Roger,
Thank you both.

Another wonderful (dangerous-to-tread) place. Beautiful photo as always.

There's a good, very well-trodden path, mainly hidden behind the rocks! The skill of the photographer has rendered it almost invisible!

Auch in dieser steinigen Gebirgswelt setzt sich die Natur durch, Andy,
Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende.
Erich

Great comment, Erich!

Erich,
Many thanks!!

Great view - worth the climb.

Hello Ron, Yes. there was a time when I came here twice a week, I was MUCH fitter then than now - one visit a year! A Spanish girlfriend with different (but equally laudable) priorities put paid to increasing familiarity with this splendid walking country!

Excellent effect. I felt as if I was tumbling into the view.

... tumbling into the view ...
I Like your succinct comment, John! In a 3 dimensional way falling through space. I used to get this also in granite country; Cornwall. You go round a headland and suddenly there is the sea. I enjoy both Cornwall and Central Spain but one has the sea and the other doesn't!
All best wishes, Andy

A good pair of boots (hob nails not required these days) and Bob's your uncle!

I love Marmite and Peanut Butter and I have been a Rockhound all my life !!!

Three out of Three !

Love the pic !

I'm beginning to wonder what a marmite and peanut butter sandwich would be like. Maybe I'll take some on my next mountain walk!
Thanks Pam! Have a great weekend!

I LOVE Marmite and Cream Cheese sandwiches !

Another one to try, thank you!.
I can get Marmite in Madrid but only from a specialist shop and it costs am arm and a leg! My little jar is treasured and used as sparingly as possible!

I have to order from Amazon.. its actually not so bad .

Try one of the ex pat shops.. I know there are some in Spain... or bring a pound jar back from England with you.. cheaper still !!

There is an expat shop near me. It is on the tourist trail as it serves 'traditional English tea!' Popular with Chinese tourists (don't ask!). But they charge 7 euros for the smallest jar!
Your other suggestions works if you drive there and back but not if you fly as Ryan Air have a 15 kilos maximum hand luggage weight restriction (about the size of a small trolley) so you can take absolutely nothing that is not strictly critical (clothes, basically!). Or you pay a fortune for an extra bag in the hold.
Maybe I should investigate Amazon. Only ever used them to buy books in the past and not for many years!
Thank you!!
Have a good week!

Yes.. my bro who isnt my bro commutes back and forth to Spain with them.. and goes the cheap way.. makes sense but honestly.. an 8 oz jar would be VERY doable.. and alot less money. Think about it ! Amazon.. I use for a lot of things.. its just the postage.. so.. I would vote for an 8 oz jar in your paper bag hand luggage ! That wil last you reasonably well.

Well, occasionally I go by car (with my sister's family who also live in Spain) and then I really stock up with things like marmite, Colman's mustard, tubes of tomato concentrate (unknown in Spain), etc etc!
I did this in 2015 and still have the some of the marmite and mustard left (they both keep very well).

Trust me.. I understand !!!!

you continue to have such a great eye for these landscapes. great photo.

terrific rock landscape!!!!!!!
Excellent!!!!

Nick,

Nouchet,
Very many thanks!
Enjoy the weekend!

Rocky scene; well composed.

Gorgeous pic, Andy !! Not easy to walk there, but the view is really worthy !!

Funnily enough, I find it easier to walk on than a slowly zig-zagging path. For a start the route to the top is more direct and much quicker so generally less tiring! As long as you are careful, it works well for me!

Jaap,
Marie-claire,
Thank you both!

Thank you, Amelie!

beautiful rocks

Thats an absolute belter Andy

Tons of shapes with this rocks, maybe with another kind of light (not so vertical as in the shot) the shapes highlight more, otherwise nice shot

I'm sure you're right, Mario. But I have no choice. I am dependent on the bus timetable and can only spend the hours around the middle of the day and early afternoon here, before I have to think about getting back and not missing the last bus!+. With a car, I might be able to time it differently!

Very good.

Hi Andreas.
Thank you!
Good to see you here. It's been a few years since we corresponded on Pano! I never joined Flikr so my photos are here (with a few on 23hq).
All best wishes,
Andy

Many thanks, Philippe!

Excellent shot! Beautiful.

Rosa,

Ian,
Great comments and awards! Thank you!

Andrea,
Martine,
Many thanks to you both!

Thank you garcia sete!

Thank you, Henk!

Excellent angle, combining the mountain's granite and the impressive view into the plain!

Thank you, Dimas!

Andy another great shot of La Sierra de La Cabrera. I like that there are spots like this that not show off the power of the granite but the lovely vistas that seem to be never ending!

Keep Well - Stay Cautious - Enjoy The Little Things

A fantastic view through these granite rocks ! And a great framing ! Have a good evening, Andy !

Buen encuadre, piedras a los lados y al centro un hueco para profundizar en el campo. Viendo estos peñascos y el valle, comprendo que la geología sea interesante para conocer algo más sobre la formación de la Tierra, con sus glaciaciones, volcanes. etc. Saludos Andy

love it

Looks rugged country and high up

amazing rock formations! that must have been a hard place to walk. this shows off the depth really well. really enjoy this photo.

It's amazing how vegetation finds crevices where it can grow, I think may be a bit ambitious for you at the moment, and of course you were younger then !!!!!!!!

Une belle sierra et de belles pierres de granit...!
Bonne fin de soirée salutaire.

Magnificent capture! Stay well!

Good to hear from you again Andy, hope your recovery is going well. Best keep your walking boots in the cupboard until you are fully fit.

Love the formations of the eroded rocks and the brave, sparse vegetation that manages to find crevices where a bit of humidity must collect.

I hope you are doing well with your physiotherapy, Andy. Looking forward to have you stone and fit again soon!

I'm not surprised the vultures like to go there - the view is spectacular! Great photo Andy, it's so lovely seeing your photos here again.

OH ANDY...

HILE YOU WERE IN THE DARK PLACE I SENT YOU THIS PICTURE ACROSS THE DIVIDE.

WILLED YOU TO DREAM IT.

HUGSSSSSSS

superbe vue et univers minéral
Belle fin de semaine Andy - HFF

Huge...

Happy weekend and keep well.

Ces amas de granit sont vraiment fabuleux et d'une beauté incroyable .**********
Je te souhaite Andy une agréable fin de semaine.

WOW, what an amazing landscape and view!

HFF Andy and enjoy your weekend!

Great composition of the amazing view Andy.

Take care and have a great weekend, Doug

With the sea below instead of this vast plain, you'd think you were in Cornwall!
Very nice perspective, Andy.

Cornwall has tall sea cliffs, Eric but not this high!

:-)

A great view from the granite mountains into the landscape below, Andy. Best wishes for the weekend.

Many thanks, George!

Herinner me nog van panoramio! Mooi!
