MOUNTAIN MAN No1

Safely back from our roller coaster journey around the occasionally daunting Seguro Park…..

The steepest roads I’ve ever driven were in the coastal hill towns of Madeira…1 in 4 !!! I kid you not. Never trust a Garmin Satnav in Madeira, they are programmed to kill you….But the Seguros’ roads, particularly  around Cazorla were themselves pretty scarey, not just steep, but narrow and very, VERY twisty, luckily both myself and the occasionally high-pitched Mrs Shpics were well supplied with clean under-garments.

So, numerous knicker-changes aside, your intrepid host threw caution to the winds and managed to take more than a few photos of what we found along the way.

Lots of photos then…., and between the two of us Dear Reader, after downloading/ filing/ post processing etc. I simply can’t be arsed putting them into any sort of order or grouping them by theme…..I’ve just chucked’em in the air and let’em fall as they please.

Pause to reflect.

The Hotel website said pool terrace…….

Bed-time.

There are worse places to swim…On the road from Pozo Alcon to Quesada.
