Ascent of Cerro Alfaro, Tabernas Desert
#Almeria #Tabernas #Walking #AlpujarraNomads
Some photos from yesterdays ascent of Cerro Alfaro. A fine day for the ascent of this unique peak in the center of the desert badlands. Took us nearly 5 hrs for this circular walk with over 550m ascent and 8km with rough and complex ground to negotiate. A superb day with distant views.
