Hawk Hill

Highlight • Summit

Not to be walked in June, July or August. Even in September you will be roasted. I went in October and it was hard because of the Sahara moving up north and entering Andalusia. But so beautiful…..

Huerta Grande Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice view on different sides. A few meters up the hill to the locked fire department and you have a wonderful all-round view, including Cerro Lucero, Cerro Verde, etc.

March 2, 2023,🇪🇸 Andalusien: Runde ab Còmpeta in die Sierra de Almijara

The idea for the hike came from the Rother hiking guide Andalusia South. We run the route the other way around - which we also think is better in retrospect.
Easy to walk, but exhausting due to the length and altitude - but beautiful.
Còmpeta has a postcard location, the sun is shining on the place and behind are mountains. …

ANDALUSIA : First day of hiking from Competa. Beautiful spring weather, so we decided to go on the big tour. It was tiring, but simply beautiful in the weather.
