Typical ganite scenery here, with the ubiquitous Springtime cistus.

Sierra de La Cabrera on a foggy day in December, 2011. Today would have been the same, blanket fog throughout central Spain with only the mountain peaks peeping through. I was tempted when I heard the forecast last night but I just had too much to do today, even though it was a public holiday!

Summer never seemed to end. It lasted until the end of October. There was a severe drought that year and the autumn rains never came, This was taken on October 1, but it was still a searingly hot summer's day!

Typical granite scenery of the area. Great walking and scrambling country.

Taken from Cancho Gordo. The prominent peak, right centre, is Pico de La Miel. The white boulder to the left, is part of of Cancho de La Bola, home of vultures for thousands of years, hence its guano stained colour. Mind you, the rocks below it have shared in this bounty too!

Some new housing estates seen here - unfinished due to the construction industry crisis in the years after 2008.
