Intense day in the Sierra de María, my son and his girlfriend are with me today, the day is sunny and with spring temperatures, halfway we meet a couple of mountaineers who give up going up, perhaps because they were trying to climb off the trail, we We follow the main route from the forest house. On the summit plain at about 6,000 feet, very strong gusts of wind blow and the thermal sensation is cold. We see the Sierra Nevada more than a hundred miles away and all the surrounding mountains. We meet a couple at the top and chat for a bit. Afterwards we protect ourselves a bit from the blizzard and take the opportunity to have lunch while some vultures hover over us. We went down the path of the Botanical Garden that occupies a drop of more than a thousand feet and that from time to time offers signs with the names of the most interesting plant species, it is a magnificent place.
