The monastery from above, for a change.

Convento monasterio de San Julian y San Antonio seen from the path to the top of El Cancho Gordo, Sierra de La Cabrera. This path is steep and direct, mainly used by rock-climbers on their way to climbs. But it is perfectly do-able as a quick (30 minutes) short-cut, avoiding the dusty and awkward main path (1.5 hours plus) that zig-zags here, there and everywhere!

As you know, I come here often (5 years ago twice a week, now reduced to maybe 2-3 times a year for health reasons) and have an enormous backlog of photos!
Pleased you like this granite scenery, Jocelyne. Thank you and have a great weekend!

Andy Rodker replied to Keith Burton:

I've shown so many of the monastery with the cliff face as backdrop, Keith that I thought I ought to show that I do also get up to the top and view it from there. This is because so many members ask me; 'Have you ever been to the top, Andy?' Only about 150 times!

I don't understand 'topper', Fred and nor does the translate service.
But I say to you ...' OK then, DO YOUR WORST!!! HAAA!! HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!'
Oh dear. The madness is happening again!
