We headed up to the high mountains to take refuge from the heat. It was certainly cooler, but very windy. It’s going to be quite busy in the Sierra Nevada in the next week or so:
⛪ 5 August – Romería de la Virgen de las Nieves, starting from Pradollano and Trevélez
🏃♀️ 9 August – Race from Granada to the peak of Veleta, billed as one of the most gruelling in the world – 50 km and 2,750 m of altitude gain
✨ 11 August – the Sierra Nevada is fantastic for star-gazing, including the Perseid meteor shower
😎 12 August – it’s also a great spot to watch the eclipse, although it will only be a 95% one in this part of Spain
