"I come today from the coast near Andalusia and I'm heading home but this area of hills and ravines is close to the route I'm on, so I decide to stretch my legs and get some air. I find the area better maintained than in previous ones
occasions and the same tranquility as always. I cross through the middle of a large farm of lemon trees that are full of fruit and a track in good condition brings me closer to these hills. I climb through the mountains and in some areas the erosion reveals a large number of fossil shells, this must have been a seabed in ancient times but is currently about forty miles from the coast." — franciscobirruezo • Feb 5, 2024
"Today my route is closer because gasoline in Spain is 1.50 euros per liter. It is a natural area near the Rambla de Algeciras Reservoir, the day as good as yesterday and better temperature (18 C).
They are nearby hills so I decide to climb four and eat in one of them.
at the 307 m peak I almost hit it due to a floor full of rounded stones, I also see here a wolf spider sunning itself. I continue up to 332 m where I have some sandwiches, from here I move across the mountain to 349 m where I begin to have better views of the reservoir, on this mountain there are quite a few fossil shells. I decide to climb the 401 m, more complicated than the others due to the reforestation work
that were made years ago, creating terraces at different levels and that are eroded. The view from here is pretty good in all directions. I decide to go down a ravine helping me with the cane.
I have seen some partridges
and quite a few butterflies today, I think this area has a milder climate due to the presence of the reservoir, in fact there were quite a few flowering plants." — franciscobirruezo • Jan 30, 2022
"After seven days with a hard flu I needed to move a little. I hesitated until 4:30 pm but finally I took the car and I went to the mountain. The sunset light softens the shadows and the landscape changes its appearance. To my surprise the legs have responded well, now I am drinking an infusion of licorice for cough." — franciscobirruezo • Feb 24, 2018
