The magnificent Griffon Vultures putting on an incredible flying performance at El Torcal in Andalucia, Spain

The most primitive hotel in Spain! If you want to get back to basics in a natural environment then this is the place to go. Great for birdwatching, wildlife and walking.

Taken on a beautiful mid March day 2010 from the Sierra de Lugar to the south. Shows the whole mountain ridge from Cerro de Caballo to Mulhacen covered in deep winter snows.

When low temperatures and precipitation combine, the forests of this region of southern Spain's Sierra Nevada, give excellent snowshoeing in deep powder.

A long, tough day's ski touring up the 3085m peak of Tajos de los Machos in Spain's Sierra Nevada mountain range. Made more difficult by remote access and hard icy conditions.

James Jackson enjoys the wintry delights of Spain's Sierra Nevada mountains under full snow cover.

After a stormy day in the mountains, tired and weary, Mike and James search for shelter. But where has the Caldera hut gone? Also features dramatic views of a windswept north face of Mulhacen.

A 2 day trek up Mulhacen, the highest peak in the Sierra Nevada, Spain in December 2009, staying overnight at the Poqueira hut.

Shows the great facilities at the Casa del Viento farmhouse in Lanjaron. Great place to stay if you are in the Alpujarras, Granada area of Andalucia.

A stunning day's adventure can be had on the Camino del Rey near El Chorro, Spain. Join 3 adventurers as they complete the route. Lot's of loose stuff around so take helmet, harness and protective slings. Also abseil rope.

A day trek through the desert badlands around Tabernas in Almeria, Spain. The trek takes you into incredible ravine and desert scenery made famous in the spaghetti western films of the 60's and 70's. On our latest trek it rained. Typical! A good day was had by all however, and the scenery consisting of ravines, escarpments and cliffs was spectacular.

A short trek into the magnificent northern bowl (Corral) of Veleta in Spain's Sierra Nevada mountains. Enter the Corral via the Veredon path and traverse across the valley below dramatic cliffs, before climbing up the slopes to the summit of Cerro de los Machos. One of the best viewpoints for the whole Sierra Nevada.
