"This peak is located less than a mile north of the mountain village of Tiscar and its castle, very close to the Cueva del Agua (Water Cave). It had been several years since I'd visited this area of ​​the natural park, and it has captivated me once again because it is rugged and wild. El Candilejo is a rocky crag beside the Tiscar River; today, clouds shrouded the higher reaches of the nearby mountains. Gazing at the castle perched on an almost inaccessible crag, I wonder how they managed to build it so many centuries ago with the resources available at the time." — franciscobirruezo • May 3, 2026

"Simple trek up from the gardens until you hit the mountain side, long drop with thick snow but taken slowly and carefully. Completely empty on the mountain, felt like being on the moon." — tillroberts • Dec 31, 2025

"The route to Cerro de Enmedio in the town of San José involves a climb through basalt rocks and loose pumice gravel, requiring care to avoid dislodging rocks onto those below. We circled the hill slightly to ascend via the south side and then descended via the north side, which was completely soaked and wet from the condensation of the night's dew." — franciscobirruezo • Dec 7, 2025

"Trailrun 🤟🏔️ through Sierra Almagrera, linking Cabezo de la Templanza (363 m), Tenerife (368 m) and Atalaya Árabe (364 m), is more than just a mountain run: this coastal sierra in Almería was once known as the “Land of Silver,” where rich deposits of lead and silver were mined from the 19th century onwards, leaving behind ruins and traces of mining settlements such as El Arteal. Geologically, the range rose from the seabed through numerous faults, later filled with mineral veins, and its modest peaks became landmarks above the Mediterranean. Today, while the mines are silent, the trails carry echoes of that past, blending history with the rhythm of each stride across these rugged hills." — belgianIbex • Nov 11, 2025

"I hiked with my son through the peaks of the Sierra Nevada with the intention of bivouacking and spending the night on the highest mountain in the Iberian Peninsula. These altitudes are a fairly inhospitable territory, with only a few snowfields, mountain goats, and a sun that burns your skin. We carried food and water for two days in our backpacks, but this time we hadn't acclimatized, and this took its toll, especially on Mulhacen, where we had to stop for air every few steps. We took a shortcut through Paso de Los Guías, which is equipped with chains, but in my opinion, I wouldn't do it again without a harness and safety rope, because one mistake and you could fall into the void. At the summit of Mulhacén, we found a shelter made of rocks and lit a fire with some pieces of wood to help keep us warm. On the morning of August 12, after a freezing night in which we saw several shooting stars, I was able to photograph the sunrise from the summit, but it wasn't as impressive as I had hoped." — franciscobirruezo • Aug 11, 2025
