We had a massive day in the mountains yesterday, it was fantastic, so hard, but it was so worth the effort. Into an area I, and everyone else with us, had never been to before. The high Sierra Nevada...
We walked up the Lanjaron Valley to the far end and came back via the spectacular Verea Corta. It was a surprisingly hot couple of days. We had some great close up encounters with wildlife including Golden Eagle, Griffon Vultures, Ibex and lots of butterflies.
The clouds enveloped us on and off. A big boom of thunder decided where we would spend the night.
This time we did an overnight camp to enable us to do this round trip. It was a short walk on the first day to our overnight camp spot at Lavaderos de la Reina.
