		<description><![CDATA[Today, for the first time the weather was like I expected: Rather cool in the morning, so that you still need a jumper, but quickly getting warmer so that you can set out for a hike at 10.00&#160;a.m. in a short-sleeved shirt. And that is exactly what I did today. First, I hiked up to the very pass which I went across yesterday evening by car, and again enjoyed the good views. After that, I hiked the : First along the mountain side, then down onto a small plateau (where the , a stone-, not a waterfall, is located), and on to the small village of . On the way, you regularly see some grazing animals, like horses, donkeys, cows, sheep, goats&#160;&#8211; and even pigs! Orignally, I planned to return from to by bus. However, due to a rally, the bus was not going today, and I had to hike back on foot. Therefore, after hiking seven-and-a-half hours of hiking over a distance of slightly more than 27.5&#160;km, I am quite exhausted. I am almost looking forward to spending most of tomorrow sitting (in the car, at the airport, and in the plane)&#160;&#8211; I am returning home again. Time for a quick wrap-up: My time in Andalusia was short, but very enjoyable. However, if it had not been for today, I would have to add: The next time, I am going to Spain for some warm sunshine in April, I am flying to the Canary Islands!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, I did a hike through the Garganta Verde, a deep and narrow, but green gorge (hence its name). For this hike, you need a permit of the National Park Service, which I reserved by phone. However, my Spanish does not seem to be as good as I would like it to be, because the permit was issued for a certain Delhard Kabila. Luckily, they did not check my ID, but only the permit itself, when I started the hike, so I was able to explore this spectacular gorge nonetheless. Especially the views at the very bottom of the gorge are indeed breathtaking. On my way back to , I stopped at some viewpoints and enjoyed the nice views to be had even from along the road. In the evening, I finally visited some friends who are currently vacationing in , less than one hour by car away. Again, I had some nice views while driving through the park.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, as I was travelling on from El Chorro to Grazalema, I took the opportunity to make a short stop in Ronda. The visit, however, was somehow compromised by the inclement weather. It was cloudy, with spells of rain, very windy, extremely cold&#160;&#8211; and despite all that, there were an enormous number of tourists around. Still, I enjoyed walking around town, and (especially) Canyon, which marks the border of the old town.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was a really relaxing day: In the morning, I visited the remains of a mozarabic fortress, and explored the area of the dams of El Chorro Gorge, whereas in the afternoon, I was lazing around on the terrace of my accommodation. One reason for this decision was the rather unpleasant weather: cloudy, and very windy. So, I only visited the ruins of the fortress (built in the late 9th&#160;century). After that, I had a look over Valley from the other side as before, and I went hiking at the start of the gorge. From there, I had a good view of the remains of the and the numerous dammed lakes around .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Based on the fact that I actually wanted to see flamingos and strange rock formations, the above result (especially the first two thirds) might seem a bit strange, if not even disappointing. However, I was again happy with today&#39;s adventures. I&#160;started the day with a visit to the fortress of which I noticed when driving by on may way to my destination. I decided to stop, and visit the remains of this islamic fortress. After that, I continued on to , where (according to my guide book) up to 20,000 pairs of flamingos are breeding every year. However, I saw none of them. So, the nature reserve of with its peculiar rock formations became the highlight of the day. There, the limestone is deeply fissured, and is forming the most interesting rock columns.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[El Chorro is a Mecca for climbers. However, I opted against going straight up the rocks, but rather explored the area by hiking on several hiking paths. In total, I was away for nearly six hours&#160;&#8211; maybe not that relaxing in the eyes of some people. Still,&#160;I&#160;was quite happy with my choice of hiking up the , and then even parts of the along the (to the East of ). However, I finally gave up circling the whole massif, as a strong wind caught me at some point, and did not cease again. Still, I had some great views on my hike. On the descent, I even came across a small herd of Spanish ibex. Back in town, I explored Gorge a bit further, and enjoyed the views of the canyon from a hiking trail which was used as an access to the (among climbers) legendary, but now derelict .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My holiday in Spain started very stereotypically with a flight to M&#225;laga, admidst lots of elderly tourists and a school class on their way to a language holiday. After my arrival, however, I left the &#34;typical&#34; Andalusia behind, and made my way into the mountains. This&#160;time, I&#160;even rented a car, as the more rural areas are difficult to reach by public transport. This made the start of my holiday a but stressful, however, as I managed to miss the right turnoff three (!) times. On the other hand, this gave me the opportunity to reach my destination, the village of by some very picturesque, but winding mountain roads. In the afternoon, I explored the surroundings of the village a bit, and was amazed by the sheer cliffs and the narrowness of Gorge&#160;&#8211; if you imagine the water masses rushing down after heavy rain (which they no longer do, as the river is regulated), it is quite clear why this place is called (in English: &#34;The Spurt&#34;).]]></description>
