La Sierra de La Cabrera. A day of fog for the whole of central Spain. I wasn't sure when I set out by bus whether a) the bus would actually get to the mountains and b) that I would eventually stick my head up from under the cloud. It worked a treat on both counts and I got some lovely pics, many of them previously shown. 11 years ago but it seems like yesterday, of course! It was helpful that I already knew all the paths here like the back of my hand! Underneath the fog here is the Valley of the Lozoya river. Behind me you would have an even bigger sea of fog, with Madrid deeply under it.
Above the fog. A fog which, incidentally, covered most of central Spain that day.

Cancho Gordo, Sierra de La Cabrera on a foggy day (foggy for the plains and valleys of most of Spain that day that is!) This has to go down as the most enjoyable day I spent in these mountains and there have been many! I started out in thick fog, not knowing if I would clear it!
I may have posted this before, but maybe not. I took so many shots from here on that day back in 2011 that I can't be sure!

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!
Vulture and fog, below Cancho Largo, La Sierra de La Cabrera. H. A. N. W. E. everybody!

One of the very best days in these mountains. Peñalara, the highest peak in the Sierra de Guadarrama can be seen, snow covered, to the right on the horizon.
Wispy and foggy. (Could describe my mental agility in these temperatures at night!)

Sierra de La Cabrera above the fog. Spot the Griffon vulture. Peñalara, the highest point in the Sierra de Guadarrama(2428m, 7975 feet) is on the horizon, nearly dead centre. I am at approx 5,000 feet, so considerably above Ben Nevis.

Taken from El Cancho Gordo over the Eastern end of the Sierra with El Pico de La Miel at its end. As described a few times before, I didn't know when I started that I would get above the fog. It was a lucky hunch!

A foggy day. The castle viewed from a granite rock window in a momentary clearing of the fog.
