Today, I spent some hours in Warsaw on my way to my final destination. Even though the opening of the European Soccer Championship will be tomorrow, the city was not too crowded. In fact, at some points you would not even have noticed the upcoming competition. Continue reading Warsaw in Football Fever?

Hiking in Andalusia
My first stay in Spain was not a beach holiday, but rather a hiking trip.
Excuse me, where is the airport?
All hiked out in Grazalema
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 a.m. in a short-sleeved shirt. And that is exactly what I did today. Continue reading All hiked out in Grazalema
Delhard Kabila and the Green Gorge
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.

Fortresses vs. Flamingos vs. Fissures: 1:0:≫10000
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's adventures. Continue reading Fortresses vs. Flamingos vs. Fissures: 1:0:≫10000
Unwinding in El Chorro
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 – maybe not that relaxing in the eyes of some people. Continue reading Unwinding in El Chorro
Andalusia, or: Welcome to the Mountains!
My holiday in Spain started very stereotypically with a flight to Málaga, admidst lots of elderly tourists and a school class on their way to a language holiday. After my arrival, however, I left the "typical" Andalusia behind, and made my way into the mountains. Continue reading Andalusia, or: Welcome to the Mountains!
