It amazes me that I haven't walked in this range since May 2019! Yes. I miss it. Best on large. My walk often went down here and up along the ridge ahead. Good exercise!

La Sierra de La Cabrera. Best on full screen.

By the side of the Convento Monasterio de San Julian y San Antonio (and one-time Goya family home) and at the start of one of many possible paths to the summit of Cancho Gordo. Taken on a bitterly cold February day.

Seen (just about) at bottom left. I think most of it is in the much later wall! Zarzarlejo, El Escorial, Sierra de Guadarrama, Madrid Province. Granite country.

I had a car in 2011 and could drive round to the north side of the Sierra. Since then I have been relient on buses and therefore the southern view is the only one I show now; as here: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/45542510/in/album/987282 Spring flowers, cantueso (wild lavender landscape in season) and granite scenery. Sierra de Guadarrama, Madrid Province. Taken from near near the tiny village of Navas de Buitrago.

One of the many ruins comprising this famous mine. Chapel Porth, St Agnes, Cornwall

The tin mines extended far out under the sea. Descent and ascent was by ladder or primitive rope cable cars. The accidents and deaths were many.
