At least you looked at the rocks@geotim
The rock formations are amazing. Probably the strata and layers going back to pre Neolithic times before there was a shift in the plates creating the mountains.
God i talk some bollocks.![]()

Where to next Doc?
he told me he is going to sell a monkey. That's what it sounded like.
Next stop today for two nightsWhere to next Doc?
We had to go up to the bear twice. First time it was so foggy you're could barely (sorry) see your outstretched hand. All the locals there were saying the view was spectacular in every direction,but I'd course we couldn't see jack. Next day we returned and it was as impressive as they'd described, 360 degree beauty.View attachment 439435View attachment 439436View attachment 439437View attachment 439438View attachment 439439View attachment 439440View attachment 439441one house how did that survive the fires View attachment 439442View attachment 439446Few pics from today and the other day.

Agreed. Think we have made the most of our time here and the weather has been great although a bit cool on the tops yesterday.We had to go up to the bear twice.

The chicken wings was supposed to be a starter and came with fried eggs & chipsIs that chicken, egg & chips ffs??
I think there’s something morally wrong about mixing chicken and eggs together. The Spanish and Mexicans do this a lot![]()
Weird combination but I ate it. Meatballs were nice though.Some of the most beautiful places on the planet seem to be home to the weirdest people serving the strangest food.The chicken wings was supposed to be a starter and came with fried eggs & chipsWeird combination but I ate it. Meatballs were nice though.
As for the chocolate pudding. A feckin cornetto.
Let's not get into the bacon. Just fat with a bit of meat and thirty pieces needed to make a butty.![]()
There’s a trail that goes from Espinama area to the top of the San Gloria and goes right past the Bear statueWe had to go up to the bear twice.

I think I know which one you mean. In 2023 Skid, Astrro and I, thought we’d do a bit of off-roading, only to be met by the prohibitive signs and from memory a chain strung across the path. We thought better of it and around the mountain we rode like the rest of them did. Skid and I had great fun, he had a hare to chase up a mountain whilst Paul was playing catchupThere’s a trail that goes from Espinama area to the top of the San Gloria and goes right past the Bear statue
In the 1990’s we used to do it daily as it cut out loads of boring roadwork on a 250-400 cc bike
Sadly it’s fully closed nowadays and only open to local land workers
Last did it in 2006 on my 1150 GSA and it was tricky on a big Adv bike, but doable down over towards the Espinama valley area
However we must have been spotted and in quick time the local Park Rangers and Police came up in 2-3 4x4’s and we had a massive bollocking and threats of arrest/fine etc
We pleaded ‘English’ ignorance and shrugged and they escorted us back to tarmac
