"On this cold afternoon today I am on the road to La Sierra de La Pila, I don't know why but I feel like climbing mountains and my legs respond to me, on other occasions I confess that I get lazy, the intense cold may activate the circulation of the blood or you want to move to warm up.
On the route I see globularia flowers, beautiful landscapes and I also find a spring with a small pool to accumulate water. When I return home I go straight to the supermarket because the walk gave me a serious desire to eat." — franciscobirruezo • Jan 13, 2025

"Route to Cabezo de Turra from Puerto Frio in the Sierra de La Pila natural park. The sky was covered in clouds and the wind made the climb on the north side pleasant. I took some panoramic photos from the top and waited for the sun to appear below the clouds on the 947 m peak. It took a long time so I descended calmly until it shone for a few minutes between some clouds.
and I was able to catch the sunset on August 13th." — franciscobirruezo • Aug 13, 2024

"Today I decide to buy some mussels and canned tuna to eat during the route, also nuts, peanuts and corn and some fruit.
On the way up the mountain in the village of Garapacha I see the first blooming almond trees of the season.
In Puerto Frío the temperature is 11 degrees and strong gusts of wind blow from the West.
I continue to enjoy the Natural Park almost alone, I am always surprised when I am in this place of silence and distant views, this area of the Region of Murcia has a really low population density.
The wind has cleared the horizon and I can see the Mediterranean Sea over 30 miles to the East from above." — franciscobirruezo • Jan 15, 2023

"I go to Puerto Frio passing through the village of Garapacha, where it smells like fig trees. Yesterday's rains have watered the almond and olive groves. I ride slowly on the motorcycle enjoying these landscapes where time is only a modern invention.
The morning is fresh and I will climb the Pico 1027 m first, then the Cabezo de La Turra and finally the Pico 947 m.
In the three peaks I am alone, accompanied by the wind and the birds. When I return I see some pomegranates near Fuente Blanca and I shoot the last photo of this magical fruit." — franciscobirruezo • Aug 22, 2019

"We start the route to the peak from Puerto Frío in Sierra de La Pila N.P.
The temperature is 15 Celsius and following the trail we see the Cabezo de Turra getting closer.
The mountain has like a bite near the summit partly natural. The hole has considerable dimensions.
The final climb is difficult and from it a small plateau has taken us to the Peak 947 m." — franciscobirruezo • Mar 29, 2018
