Collado de Umbrales
It's the Frigiliana Walking Group's first outing of the season and Antonio has picked out the Collado de Umbrales for us. It's a spot I first visited about a month ago, located under the sheer south face of Cisne, but there's a difference this time. Maps of the area show a path going up to the col, but not far beyond it, so last time I was here, I returned by the same route. This time, the intention is to carry on, into an area where no paths are shown on the maps, down ...

This walk is 20km long and there's about 1350m of ascent to the top. The start is at a car park next to Nerja's famous cave and the first half hour is spent on a gradual ascent up a wide track. When conditions allow (i.e. when there isn't a fire ...
Sonne, Fisch und Hotelburgen
Anglerglück und Anglerpech
Die angenehmen Temperaturen an der Küste versprachen ein entspannendes Fischen. Wir suchten einen von unserem Hotelrezeptionisten empfohlenen Felsstrand auf und warfen die Angelruten aus. Ich war bis dahin ja fest der Meinung, dass ich mit dem Anfängerglück gleich einmal einen dicken Fisch an der Leine haben würde. War aber nicht so. Mir war's egal, und da ich nach ein ...
