"I wake up today without knowing which Peak I am going to climb, a long time ago I planned the routes in advance but lately I let myself be guided by intuition and made the decision at the last moment, even when I was already at the wheel of my car. The route is demanding and today I found a lost cyclist and a family that was going up at noon a little exhausted from the effort. The rains and cooler weather have produced an abundance of flowers and insects. I pick up some thyme to make tea when I get home and shoot pictures when something catches my eye. Near the detour to the summit I trip over a stone and thanks to the cane I don't kiss the ground, it is my tool whenever I go out into the mountains and it has saved me from many falls. Another good thing about walks is that you stop the mind and its thoughts as if you were meditating, which is quite relaxing." — franciscobirruezo • Jun 20, 2021

" Nice getaway to Sierra Espuña today. My intuition guided me to climb the peak of Peña Apartada again. The path is more leafy and the thyme and rockrose flowers accompany me at every step. insects are also numerous. The middle section of the climb is quite steep and I take advantage of every break to photograph what catches my attention. Near the top I meet a group of hikers who are surprised to see me alone and we chat a bit. I explore the top that is like a plateau and later I look for a shade to eat. The breeze is very nice up here and I feel it in my head as I thank God. " — franciscobirruezo • Jun 9, 2021

"Lately it rains a lot around here, the mountains and the fields have been filled with flowers and vegetation. I usually walk for a long time every day to keep in shape and this area is full of hills and cliffs by the sea. Every time I see more people enjoying the mountains and the beaches and moving away from the big cities, there are also many people moving in motorhomes. I sit on a stone to watch the sunset and meditate for a while, to feel the difference between the bustle of the city and the stillness of the mountains" — franciscobirruezo • Apr 19, 2021

" 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. " — franciscobirruezo • Apr 18, 2021

"Fantastic route to Cabo Cope after going to the weekly market for fresh vegetables. The sea is calm after several days of storm, the most daring fishermen walk along the cliffs to find the best catch. We move away from them to gain height and enjoy the territory of the birds and the silence. At some points the path narrows and gets dangerously close to the edge of the cliff and it is advisable not to linger enjoying the scenery. We pass through an area of ​​black Sabinas that not even botanists can explain how they got here. Its habitat is in mountainous areas far from the sea. We meditate at the top with wonderful views of the Mediterranean and the truth is that we would stay here longer for pure pleasure." — franciscobirruezo • Apr 17, 2021
