The path down from EL Cancho Gordo.

Ahead is the ganitic lump of EL Cancho de La Bola, the home of most of the area's Griffon vultures.
October 1, and still searing heat; you can see the heat haze emanating from the plain below. Autumn arrived very late that year and the drought had become a major worry.

Yes. It depends on the times of the last bus back to Madrid and when nightfall comes but I am experienced by now, just as I know how long I have with certain sea-shore rock hopping walks in Cornwall before the tide turns!
Scrambling along the crest of the whole ridge (of which this is 1/20) is a fabulous experience!
Many thanks, Poly!
