"When I write these lines we have been martial law in Spain for five days, France is also like that two days ago, in Italy much more. The streets of the cities are deserted and everything seems unreal, the population takes it the best they can and with enough civility and tranquility. I say this because I don't know when I can climb more mountains without breaking the law, risking a fine or arrest for being away from home. On the other hand, this mountain still retains some value in terms of flora and fauna, having also spectacular views over the Isla del Fraile. This island was inhabited in Roman times and the famous "Garum" was produced there, which was exported to the entire empire. A narrow trail dotted with thyme and asparagus leads to its summit." — franciscobirruezo • Mar 15, 2020

"Warm day at Cabo Cope, a strange joke of suspended dust hides the horizon. I climb to the Collado de las Cabricas where there were prehistoric human settlements. Continue along the south side of Cope on a dangerous hillside that admits no mistakes. I see Numerous seagulls below me. The cliffs of about 600 feet are spectacular. I decide to gain height by guiding me just a bunch of stones. Below is the medieval Tower and the extensive and lonely Marina de Cope." — franciscobirruezo • Feb 28, 2020

"Mountain near the city of Aguilas where I find myself enjoying carnival and good weather before joining work again. I walk along the forest track to the base of the peak where you have to cross scrub to the top. Near the summit I surprise two wild boars that run away, but one of them comes back growling, I look at the nearest tree to climb, fortunately the wild boar gets tangled in a thicket and walks away scared. I reach the top but I decide that it is enough adventure for today and I return enjoying the early spring that we have here." — franciscobirruezo • Feb 27, 2020

"I go to this mountain looking for tranquility and pure air. I climb Pico 855 m first in La Sierra de Ricote, the forest is greener than the last time I walked here. I see some wild daffodils as I climb the west edge. I have lunch at the top before going down the east side and make a circular route. I then go to Piedra Bermeja following a forest trail, the rocky ridges soften and the landscape looks drier. This peak is not spectacular, but the silence and the peace it conveys encourage me to meditate for a while on its summit. Upon returning I decide to go through the Almeces Peak that due to its prominence has good views of the surrounding fields." — franciscobirruezo • Feb 15, 2020
