Periodic Dose of Breath-taking

Peeking from the top of El Chorro village into the El Chorro/Tajo de La Encantada/ Guadalhorce River.
A dam into infinity. Embalse (dam) de Guadalhorce/Guadalteba.
Bushes and "palmitos" (mini palm trees with HUGE thorns!) sprinkled over the mounts, and a playful winding road over the ridge.
 Velvety intense green carpet of of pines between harsh gray colosal rocks, with orangy strikes. Like a carpeted path leading the even higher peaks in the horizon. (from Tajo de la Encantada, El Chorro)

Some breathtaking from the heights at Desplomilandia.


Morning views from uphill Teba.



Afternoon sun trying to break into over Pizarra, from the top of El Santo mount.
Lush mini palm-trees ("palmitos") on a steep slope of El Chorro, in contrast with the lush pines on a more gentle slope in the back.
Mounts, mountains, valleys and beyond, with curvy roads wrapping slopes or drawing lines on ridges. This is as high as you can go with your feet touching ground. The mesmerizing Abdalajis, Guadalhorce, Guadalteba region in the lively Andalusia.

Double rainbow on Pizarra valley, Andalusia. This last Monday. What a promising way to start this week!
