Lost in the Sierra Nevada Mountains

Chocolate Moose convinced us to come and hide out in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, near Granada as he's still on the run from the Spanish authorities after his blasphemous comments about the Guggenheim Museum. CM has some long lost relatives who are still trotting in the valleys between the snow capped peaks.

Staying at a fabulous campsite with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and reservoir below.

Today we had a walk along the river this morning but had trouble finding the trail (lack of signposts)... CM kept trying to convince us that he knew the way.... never listen to a moose!!

This evening we explored the local picturesque village of Guejar Sierra situated at more than 1000m above sea level. Had delicious tapas in a local bar and then were treated to music which the kids joined in with. CM was unimpressed as he thought one of his relatives was draped over a chair.

Looking forward to visiting the Alhambra and Granada!
