The plan for this weekend was to go to Sierra Nevada to hike at altitude and add a couple of three-thousand-meter peaks to our collection. We had been preparing the routes and packing our backpacks all week, with the apartment booked and food ready; finally, on Friday afternoon, we set off.
Shortly after

We are going for a hike to the north of our beloved and neighboring Region of Murcia: to the municipality of Yecla, famous for its furniture, footwear, and wines.
There lies the Monte Arabí Natural Monument, a small area but with much to see: cave paintings, petroglyphs (rock engravings), a Bronze Age

This morning I woke up very motivated and, after taking care of some errands, I decided to go out with my non-electric mountain bike to do a route I had planned for a long time, but which I hadn't dared to tackle yet.
I had previously reached the highest point with my electric bike, so I knew what the

We took advantage of the trip to Pitón de Cancarix to visit the archaeological site of El Tolmo de Minateda, located in Hellín (Albacete) on a hill 500 meters high. At the interpretation center, they explained in detail what we were going to see and provided us with a guide for the tour, an experience

We continue with our selection of «solidarity routes» alongside our companion Pascual. These are calmer and simpler walks than usual, which are doing him very well; he looks very recovered and, in fact, when he starts to pull, you have to grit your teeth to keep up with him.
On this occasion, we visit

I didn't want to retire without trying a road bike: I had already had six mountain bikes and, in the end, I treated myself to a beautiful white carbon Trek with which I thought I would fly.
The truth is that I couldn't adapt to either the sport or the bike. The handlebars and brakes felt uncomfortable

Today we set off an hour earlier than our companions to climb to the summit of Ponoig, with the idea of meeting them at Coll del Pouet (Little Well Pass) and doing the descent together. Last Sunday we passed through here after many years and the views encouraged us to try the summit again.
We set off

After yesterday afternoon's violent storm, the day dawned clear, with clean air and a refreshing 21 degrees. With a morning like this, I'm postponing trimming the hedge once again; I suppose I'll decide to cut it when it's no longer passable, but in the meantime, I'm not going to waste a day like today

We continue with another "solidarity route" so that our friend Pascual can continue to get in shape and regain his confidence after his accident. Although the feeling after today's is that he is more than recovered.
We set off from the sanctuary of Font Roja, a few kilometers from Alcoi, an important

El Puig Campana is one of the most notable mountains in Alicante. With its 1,410 meters of height, a mere 8 kilometers from the sea, its slender silhouette presides over the entire Marina Baixa region and is recognizable from many kilometers away; therefore, it is a highly coveted mountaineering objective

A quiet bike ride with my granddaughter who is still motivated to pedal, I wouldn't trade these moments for anything.

La Mola (La Muela in Castilian, named so for its shape) is a small mountain near home that rises above the Vinalopó riverbed, the Castle and the Sanctuary of Santa María Magdalena. Almost every first of January we climb to the summit on foot from home; there we always start the season. Today we have

We want to take the opportunity to do several activities with

It has been six months since the unfortunate accident of our companion Pascual, in which he broke his tibia and some tendons by slipping and falling to the ground while we were chatting happily on a wide and easy path.
His recovery is going slower than he would like, so we are organizing simpler and shorter

Calmer now after the disastrous weekend, I took a short bike ride along the Tarafa greenway and the La Horna area, where Mr. Luis has his plot and "artistic installation".
I've already introduced him here: he's a dear old man who walks 11 kilometers every day, round trip, to his field. Today he was painting
