Today's route was scheduled to climb the hill of Chamizo (1637 m), which is the most important bill that puebecillo surrounding Alfarnate, in the middle region of Axarquia Malaga. What a brilliant day of sunshine, what a good temperature, the field was so beautiful with that white light is announcing and spring sown cereal the green ..... this area is very beautiful, is something special.
This is Alfarnate, and this one below, the hill Chamizo, our first choice .... we have not been able to climb to the top.'ll Have to be for another time ...! And looking for an alternative route, of course. It is a limestone rock mass (so says Luis) , and the vegetation is typically Mediterranean: aromatic and oaks, beautiful.
parked cars and started approaching the hill along a forest track, to little left to take a Veredilla among oaks, rocks and moss so beautiful that looked like a painting ... As we usually do, the original group was divided into two groups and each took a path, we continue climbing and talking quietly where were we to undertake the climb to Mt.
After a while of walking and after meeting with these friends, who give a damn who was going and where ....
One of the two groups, which had advanced a little, he found the guard of what proved to be a private estate, and he refused, of course, to our little group Shining Path rapid traverse and civilized the area in order to ascend to Chamizo and down quietly on the other hand ...
So we gave half around and went back to the cars to change on the fly the route of the day thank goodness that this gives us good ... with some maps of the area that Angus had decided in two minutes and returned an alternative rutilla the people to exit from another point. With the time we had lost, this would be shortsighted to force. We returned
face behind us and saw that the hill Tajo de las Palomas, more softly, (1250 m) and not as impressive as the Chamizo, was calling us ... we took another forest track and thither we went.
the way there, very picturesque. Look how well ... there was so curious many of these. And it was full of water ... almost to the edge.
In that area the water is plentiful, and we came across several sources, this is the stack of Cerezal, blight and poor, so black that would be fried heat, was given a bath, of course, again remained as animals with the language I had hanging strawberry .... what is good-natured.
A stretch above, Herrera Prado Cells, we stop for lunch ... and some for a good nap. Others, as soon as we finished the sandwich, decided to climb rapidly to Tajo de las Palomas, still waiting patiently. The water from that source is not treated sanitary, but it was so nice and cool ... I drank a little and I think someone else too. Just now we have a belly full of amoebas and paramecia.
This increase does not have a clear path, so we decided to go on the rocks. From below, our colleagues from the nap we were looking back and forth, climbing rocks on all fours and look for corners where you do not falling down.
Manolo, one of the companions who have GPS, walkie-talkies and other (he is my provider of technical information: plans, sections, distances, etc) asked me to take your GPS to stay recorded our journey to the top ... so here I am with the pileup that ... in the pocket. ..! Do not take it there is very professional, but had nowhere to hook: I will not as prepared as they are. (Should not count when I went to pick up the GPS, I mistook one of the walkies ... but if they are the same ...! Modernuras lol ... these are not for me).
All our bags and leave without that burden, have risen slightly as the wind and everything they gave us legs otherwise they do not give us time to rise and fall ... and because there was a lot of jogging, too. The Underdogs
have seen us like this: climbing the rocks ....
And at the summit at last ...! Yes, yes, we're up there, is that we only see two.
But we have lived well: suppression by the rocks, all of the art ....
The spliff impressive, rocky, steep .. has been an ordeal for all to save him, I leave my upload stream so that you see an idea of \u200b\u200bthe difficulty he had ... has been really well.
And our picture on the top (luckily, Vincent had the good sense to take the camera around the scree .)
Behind us we have La Maroma, who still wears a hat of snow ... (and know her because we were in January), here we are with our bodies covering mountain - never better, "but in this picture below is not. These views reconciled with the Cosmos ...
At the bottom you have the people, Alfarnate, and right the Chamizo, our hill "I want and I can not" today.
The rest of the route was to go down a lot less difficult site and other people around the forest path.
But before we go, the stop for the cervecilla we have made in the beautiful Alfarnate Sale: is the oldest in Andalucia "A sign says there since 1699 - and the scene of skirmishes with the bandits and the famous Luis Candelas, throughout the nineteenth century. The place looks like the setting for an episode of "Curro Jiménez" is restored and true pampering, we liked it.
whole area of \u200b\u200bthe Montes de Malaga and Ronda were indeed the natural settings that series was filmed.
Again, I am black to choose the photos that illustrate our adventures, which I do not do are as beautiful as you see ... and are on the Club website. Today's photographers have been Angus, Concha, Rosa, Manolo and Vicente, and the profile and map of the route are Manolo. Thanks to everyone for uploading the photos right away!
The profile clearly see where the guard made us go back, batteries, where we ate and the rise of the Tagus.
In the plane, right .... because our route failed, and to the left, which eventually became: 17.5 kms.
It was not what we planned, but the subidilla to the Tajo de las Palomas was funny and know the sale was worth it ... so as always to leave the mountain, all very good.
