Biking & Baking in Las Alpujarras

We've been in Spain for over 4 years now - plus 4 motorbikes - and a horse - join us for the ride!

Winter walking

Steve has posted a video on YouTube of his recent walk in the mountains. Go to 'Mulhacen in Winter' and you should find it. Apologies for the quality, especially the sound at the end, but it will be better next time!

congrats Steve on your trip and video it really gave me the feeling of being there and loved the glimpse of Africa.Where did the road connect to do you think my GS650 would make it up there? I did ride over the top on a CB250RS a long time ago! Hope to see you when we are out in the spring we are looking to rent a house in La Taha for about 3 months in March. I enjoy your blog Linda thanks Hugh

Steve reckons that the road was near Alto de Chorillo but you can't take any vehicles beyond the barrier at the Area Recreativa Hoya del Portillo these days (except authorised mini-buses in the summer). We walked up above there on Sunday, into the snowline, and although beautiful that will probably be inaccessible even for pedestrians after another snowfall.
Cheers, Casalinda

Hi have just watched your video loved it. Hope there is going to be a lot more snow as we are coming up that way just after Christmas. We did this 2 years ago when there was hardly any snow so fingers crossed for this year. Linda 2

Thanks Linda Anne. We were up to our ankles in the stuff and sometimes our knees, at the weekend, just above the Area Recreativa barrier, and the nights are sub-zero up there now, so you should be OK. Have a look at the Mulhacen webcam to check!

I'm heading towards 65 and enjoying life out here in Spain with my partner Steve and all our great friends here and in the UK. I have cancer and know a bit about the Spanish health system these days, but my motto is 'it'll get me one day but not yet!' We live simply, enjoy good company, the fabulous scenery and fresh air, our motorbikes and my special Andalusian mare Canela. Also the village cats! Home-baking has given way to growing vegetables, walking and riding, but we never know what else may crop up! And you can rent our s/c granero if you contact me direct. I have lots to say, so blogging is a good way to do it!
