Our "new normality" that is not normal

-
Taking one wrong decision after another, our central and regional governments force us in a "new normality" where we should function but are not allowed to be human. I do not dare to think what they will do to us in the next months and what society will look like if no scientists or lawyers show them that they have gone too far.

Enjoy those pictures taken last week in the mountains just behind the coast, near Alhaurín el Grande. I need nature even more as usual - the only place at the moment where you do not see any police cars or (generally) hear any helicopter. Who knows how long we will be allowed to go?

    Nature offers a wonderful escape from this madness - provided that other people don't have the same idea and you end up in a crowd. We have the opposite problem here that the authorities don't enforce the rules and everyone just does what they want. Masks are only just becoming compulsory in shops - it will be interesting to see if everyone complies - I expect some people will just plain refuse to wear them and nothing will be done about it. Stay safe Chani and enjoy the beautiful landscape around you.

Coastal towers in Southern Spain

-

There are many watch towers in Southern Spain, all along the coast. I have always thought it would be nice to take a sabbatical and hike or bike from one to the other, reading about their history. Some of them are surrounded by nature, others are situated directly along the road (where it is difficult or impossible to park) or even in town, lost between concrete. Here are four of them, in three different provinces. The most beautiful area is, without hesitation, Caños de Meca, as it is a protected area. And from there, if it is not too foggy, you can see the Rif mountains in Morocco.

Almost Fall

Fall is almost here, and that is good. I love the shorter days, the prospect of getting back to standard time (even if it not the time that corresponds to our meridian), eating chestnuts, taking longer walks without dying of the heat. Finding some chestnut trees on the path from Pampaneira to Bubión (province of Granada, Spain)

Casa Forestal in Alhaurín el Grande

It is summer, it is too hot, but we went back to a place that we love, the "Casa forestal" in Alhaurín el Grande (near Málaga, Spain), and we could chill there a bit (forgetting for a short moment all pictures and reports of destroying, killing, suffering etc. we had seen about Gaza, when there is so little we can do).  Two years ago, a huge forest fire destroyed a lot in this area, but this place has been preserved (the flame stopped just above it). Enjoy! The "Casa Forestal" of Alhaurín el Grande View of the valley from above, near the Casa forestal On the way to the Casa forestal
