El Torcal
It has some spectacular limestone rock formations. 150 million years ago it was underwater but was forced into becoming the hills and mountains we see today through movements of the earths crust. That and a lot of wind and rain erosion produced what we see today.
Man has been around since 5500BC and has left cave paintings in the area as evidence. As with much of Southern Spain the Romans, Moors and Christians have all left their mark as well.
There are some set trails of different lengths - one goes through an area known as the ‘Ammonites ‘ because of its fossils - but you are advised not to stray from the path as it is easy to become disorientated.
Flora and Fauna is abundant. The largest animal is the Ibex, Iberian mountain goats and in the hills and mountains golden eagles and Griffin vultures soar in the summer thermals.
Because there is little light pollution there is also an observatory to look at the stars – you could be at an altitude of 1200m and I am told on good days you can see North Africa across the Mediterranean.
Hope you enjoy these pictures,

ARMOUR UP!
Welcome back to another blog everyone…
This time of year is always great, a natural trend is for Foundries to start looking into Modules they don’t currently utilize, lots of appointments are made for onsite visits and training, and the Team SWG group I belong to starts a full season of charity events and comic-con appearances, and what better way to start the year of by not one, but TWO appearances in support of our sponsors.
