"Today I went to climb this peak, near the town of La Azohia. There's no trail, so I had to go cross-country, but it turned out to be more difficult than expected. It has very steep slopes, abundant scrubland, and some cliff areas. In some places, you have to watch your step to avoid tumbling down the slope. During the hike, I saw some interesting flowers and a large lizard. The views from the summit are good, and I enjoyed them while having lunch up there. There are quite a few rosemary bushes and dwarf palms alongside lavender plants, and in general, this mountain is well-preserved due to its difficult access." — franciscobirruezo • May 17, 2026

"A cold wind blows this afternoon in these mountains as I decide to climb today's summit cross-country, searching for gaps in the bushes. On a gray rock, I find a seven-spotted ladybug huddled together, waiting for a ray of sunshine that it will not receive today. A little higher up, spiny starflowers grow among the rocks. I continue upwards among pines shaped by the wind and dwarf holm oaks that prick like cacti. Nearby, a cattle track once allowed the passage of flocks of sheep coming from Castile in search of pasture. These ancient mountain passes are still used in some parts of Spain to lead sheep to the best grazing lands, just as they were centuries ago." — franciscobirruezo • May 9, 2026

"Many plants have grown and bloomed on these rocky hills, feeding insects, which in turn attract birds, so there was a lot of life in this area. The occasional rumble of thunder could be heard in the nearby mountains, and the clouds drifted eastward, turning around and heading west again in a couple of hours. The cool breeze carried the sounds of bells, music, and distant festivals, which is why I saw banners in the streets on my way here. I also saw a beautiful eagle owl taking off from a pine tree and landing on another one farther away; I suppose it was on the lookout for a rabbit. Erosion on some of the rocks left markings that looked like writing from other civilizations. Seeing all this, I ended up having a great time outdoors." — franciscobirruezo • May 2, 2026
