The Marina Alta is a region located in the north of the province of Alicante. At this time of year, half of Europe's professional cycling teams train on its roads (the other half are in Mallorca), which causes frustration among the locals who have to follow them in a procession. We ourselves rode 8 kilometers

When we think of our neighboring Region of Murcia, we always think of Sierra Espuña and the Revolcadores massif, but Murcia has so much more. The northwest of the Region is largely unknown to most people, so when our club (which is also based in Murcia) proposed this route, we didn't hesitate for a second

With weather alerts for extreme weather, forecasts of very strong winds, and snowfall at lower elevations, we didn't have many hiking options this weekend. So, looking through our to-do list, we found this route, new to us, which, thanks to its path through a ravine and its orientation, would protect

Taking advantage of a brief window of good weather, we covered almost 700 kilometers in a single day to enjoy the Sierra Nevada mountains in Granada. The area had a good layer of snow, perfect for dusting off our ice axes and crampons. The views from Sierra Nevada, which is barely 50 kilometers from

Second day on the Ojos Negros Greenway. This path follows an old railway line that connected the mines of Ojos Negros with the foundries of the port of Sagunto. It is now almost entirely restored, although some sections are unrideable and require using secondary roads. The day began with a more pleasant

This is my third time on the Ojos Negros Greenway, but this section was new to me. Due to logistical reasons, we'd always started in Teruel, and today we hiked the route from kilometer zero. It was freezing; we set off at -3°C and it didn't get much better the rest of the day. To top it all off, it rained

An original route to two small mountain ranges we'd never paid much attention to before. Starting from the hamlet of Barbarroja, we began with the Serra del Frares (Friars' Range), which we climbed rather haphazardly as there's no defined path. At the summit, there's a small aluminum cross. We descended

Aitana, at 1558 meters, is the highest peak in the province of Alicante. Just a week ago, it looked splendid with a thick blanket of snow, but the high temperatures of the last four days melted it all. Even so, thinking that some snow might remain on the north face, we got up early and headed there to

Despite the cold snap, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to enjoy the snowfall inland, so we traveled to the small village of Inazares in the northwest of our neighboring region of Murcia to climb the peaks of Los Obispos and Revolcadores and see the beautiful snow-covered pine trees. Although the

First outing of the year with our group of friends, and we were also celebrating the fact that the most veteran members were joining us today. We returned to the Sierra de Crevillente to climb its westernmost peak, Pico de San Gaietà (San Cayetano).
