From the edge.

Sierra de La Cabrera with the town of La Cabrera below and an interested Griffon vulture or three hovering centre stage!
(As a side note, directly below where the central vulture hovers, and on the horizon, is Algete, where I currently live).
Maybe best on full screen, if only to emphasis the vastness of the Castillian Plain.

I often feel at one with these birds when I scramble about these cliffs, Peter. But I do draw the line at carrion-eating!

An exhilarating point of view, Andy, all the more so with these bright contrasts. The vultures are an icing on the cake ;)

Andy Rodker replied to Nick Weall:

I used to live in Madrid centre, Nick. Further away but easier access to the mountains as it's the start of the only bus route there. Now, I live nearer but have to go into Madrid and then back out again. Before, it took 1.5 hours. Now, at least 2.5 hours each way. And thanks to Brexit I can no longer drive a car. At one time I could hire a car for the day. Owning a car was never an option here.
So once I am fit enough to walk in the mountains again, it'll mean a very early start and a late finish and much more expensive, even though I now live much closer!
