Just love those mountain days when the early morning cloud starts to dissipate and the light constantly changes thereafter. These are the Cumbres Verdes mountains just outside Granada

Here's a strange image from today's hike in the Sierra Elvira. No filters, no manipulation, nada! Shows a temperature inversion with the city of Granada appearing out of the gloom in the lower half of the image.
Above the inversion layer the Sierra Nevada mountains rise 3000 metres above the city and are in clear haze free air.
The 3 main summits of (L to R) Alcazaba, Mulhacén & Veleta are prominent.

You're never too young to enjoy a Via Ferrata! Today we've been enjoying introducing some guests to this one at Moclin.
Capileira and the snow covered south west flank of Mulhacen yesterday.
We've had a great start to this winter! Loads of snow, so going to be superb conditions for #skitouring, #snowshoeing or #mountaineering courses this coming winter.
You can reserve a snowshoeing day or book onto a alpine or mountaineering course by visiting our website at

We shall be running winter activities up to the end of April and possibly into May too!
An afternoon of adventure high above the ground! Tajo de las Viñas, #ViaFerrata at Lentegi yesterday
After a bit of a grey and dismal long weekend in the UK, today it was nice to head up above home on 4WD tracks and get the clearest view of the African continent we've had this year. Morocco did indeed seem very close, although in reality is some 220km away in a direct line across the Mediterranean.

Unusual view looking down on the village of Capileira in the Alpujarras from high up on the slopes of Las Alegas (2700m) in the Sierra Nevada.The morning sun has reached all parts of the village but the Barranco de Poqueira remains in shadow,

Hard photographing birds in flight isn't it? Especially for a landscape photographer who's subject is pretty much static. Thing is with birds, the little blighters just won't stay still, will they?
Here's 4 images of the Griffon Vulture from a photo shoot I did a few days ago at the amazing El Chorro cliffs in the Sierra de Cazorla a few days ago. Keep rate was probably 1/50 🤣

Fantastic half-day hike up the isolated peak of Gilillo in the stunning Parque Natural de la Sierra de Cazorla.
Begins with gentle ascent through beautiful forests before breaking out onto the open hillside. Trail leads up to the Puerto Gilillo pass and onto a summit that is far more dramatic than we expected.
The summit itself is sharp and rocky, and because the peak stands so alone, the 360-degree views of the endless sierras are absolutely breathtaking.
