"After having a cold I decide to go to the mountains to finish recovering. The highway leaves me near Totana and from there a mountain road that passes through Aledo takes me to the natural park. The sky is pretty clear today however there are not too many hikers in the area.
I go up with encouragement enjoying the landscape and the silence while I decide that after reaching the top I will go down the slope through the middle of the forest.
When I get to the car I feel much better than when I left the house, the pine air is pure medicine." — franciscobirruezo • Nov 20, 2022

We go with some friends to Sierra Espuña, it is a cool but sunny day, after a good lunch in the recreational area of Las Alquerías we decided to do the route. Despite the fact that there are other people enjoying the area, we are alone throughout the trail, the abundant spring rains They have favored flowering and we enjoyed the path and the landscape, we sat in a clearing in the forest to sunbathe and chat for a while. The air is clean and it is another food, for the body and for the spirit. Our friends They hadn't been to this area before and they really liked it.

Today we do a route in the Sierra Espuña Natural Park, there are few hikers even though it has been a slightly longer weekend due to the party on Friday. I see the thickest forest, it seems that the trees and bushes have prospered since the last time I was here. Some birds brighten our walk with their songs as they jump from branch to branch. The view from the upper area is beautiful because the sky is especially clear today. The flowers begin to show their colors in this spring that begins

"At last a day that looks like autumn. I start my walk with sun but when I get back to the car it starts raining. Along the way I find springs and ponds and an ancient aqueduct, also a fence that forces me to take a detour, then a path brings me closer
to the peak. The climb to the top is mountain-trough and near the summit there are stone walls.
An eagle watches me while the weather gets ugly and I descend at full throttle." — franciscobirruezo • Nov 4, 2017
