The Guardian of the Mountains still holding firm!
La Sierra de La Cabrera. Cancho Largo (The Guardian of the Mountains - my name for him!) is the highest point in the Sierra de La Cabrera. The block on the horizon is Mondalindo and centre left is (still snow covered) Peñalara, the highest peak in the Sierra de Guadarrama.
There are no climbers here today. Climbing has been forbidden here during the nesting season (perigrine falcons, I think and another bird whose name I didn't catch on the notice cards - they are attached to the first fixed peg on every climbing line - because I didn't have my glasses with me, sorry).
But I was impressed; this seems to be working, so not all Spaniards kill song birds for fun and bulls for sport!.

I think I didn't make myself clear, José.
My point was that climbers are asked not to climb the cliffs here in the nesting season; and they don't. Of course I know that shooting songbirds is generally frowned upon today. My comment was more tongue in cheek and was aimed at the few who remain and the rather larger number who support bullfighting. My point was in PRAISE of the vast majority of Spaniards, not the small minority!
