La Pedriza is a wotten waven place to go hiking, as Pablo can confirm.
He gets to go there all the time and has learned something I'm never going to learn.
Don't bark at the wildlife!

La Pedriza
La Pedriza is a spectacular mountainous area in the Sierra de Guadarrama, just north of Madrid, Spain. The lake in the photo is the Embalse de Manzanares.

Rudy, Spanish Omelettes, and García Lorca
During his recent wanderings in the Sierra Nevada region of Spain, Dachshund Daddy met Rudy, who was hanging out with his grandpa at Bar Restaurante Galvez in the mountain town of Lanjarón.
Rudy takes good care of his grandpa, who rescued him several years back.
Every time another dog walks by Bar Galvez, Rudy darts outside to ensure that his pee spots are accounted for.
Bar Restaurante Galvez makes great Spanish omelettes, Rudy reminds us. But be sure to ask for a tortilla de patatas, as they're called in Spain.
Rudy is also a big poetry fan, and reminds us that his home town of Lanjarón has many fountains with quotes from Federico García Lorca, Spain's greatest gift to 20th century poetry.
Rudy is not 100% positive about DD's translation; can anyone help?

Struggling under the weight of the shade
a spring was singing:
Calm and gloomy,
I heard the songs of the water.
F. García Lorca

Alto del Chorrillo
Alto del Chorrillo is a scenic ridge in Spain's Sierra Nevada, towering at just under 9000 feet, or 2727 meters, above sea level.
Dachshund Daddy met Dora as he was riding his bike up the winding gravel road from the hamlet of Capileira...
while she and her parents were on their way to the Poqueira mountain hut.
Dora highly recommends the local specialty: jamón serrano, Spain's favorite dry-cured ham.
The Spanish ibex that hang out at Alto del Chorrillo are more into grass. They're also very shy, but they still let DD take a photo.
