Good to hear from you. Yes, it’s a beautiful part of the world is this area of Andalucia. Certainly worth a visit.
Cheers, Alen

I just realised I’d not been following your exploits on the new blog. Rectified that now and it seems like life in Spain is going well.
All the best, Paul

Good to hear from you. We visited Asturias nine years ago but the weather was bad so I didn’t get chance to do any walking in the Picos. They certainly look spectacular, though. Hopefully, when we get settled and sorted we’ll have a run up there.
Two houses sounds like a good idea but a lot of stress. We have discovered that nothing is straightforward when you attempt to buy a house in Spain!
All the best, Alen

Thanks for the kind comments on my book; when I look at it now I see a few things I could do to update but it will have to wait for the next reprint and perhaps my own move to Andaluc??a.

Having said that, I’ve just returned from Asturias and the Picos de Europa. A fantastic place – spectacular in a completely different way to the Sierra Nevada. I’d really like to buy a house in the south AND the north but they’d both need to be small and very cheap… ????

Cheers and keep the stories coming, they are great inspiration.

Yes, that picture is taken from the summit of Ceilo, above the town of Nerja. If the sky had been clear, then the Rif mountains of Morocco would have been on the horizon. So far, I have only seen Morocco from a campervan window and not a mountain top. And I can’t see anything at the moment because the mist is right down ??? it’s just like Scotland.
Cheers, Alen

You explain it all so brilliantly, and I don’t doubt that you’ll be doing it, very soon. Those photos are stunning – what a spectacular landscape! Where was the second-to-last one taken – is that looking across to Morocco?

Yes, the baking hot weather seamed to end all at once. Perfect temperatures just now. Cool showers and snow on the tops.
Cheers, Alen

They look pretty spectacular! I can imagine it’s nicer to let the really hot summer go first though before you start tackling the mountains.

Thanks for that. All my caving was done in Britain and Ireland, so you’ve seen some sights over here that I’ll never see. And I don’t think my knees would take ti these days, so I’ll stick to the hills!
Cheers, Alen
