Top Of Spain & Hobbitville




Mount Mulhacen is at the top of Spain - it is the highest peak at 3,482m. The top picture shows us at 2,510m enjoying the peak over coffee above the town of Sierra Nevada, 34km from Granada.

The other picture shows houses built into the sides of canyons (or caves) just like the hobbits in Lord of the Ring. This strange town is Guadix, approx 50km east of Granada. Note the chimneys sticking out of the hillsides. We also stopped at Murcia on our way from Granada to Alicante.

  1. Is it cold or hot on the peak - Paul is rugged up while John is half naked.

    I'm very confused???

  3. Hey Nick, I think that John's nuclear reactor has gone into overdrive with the 40 deg they experienced in Spain!
