Hola Pako

I have a casa cueva in the Altiplano de Granada and have ridden around some of your area. I love the Cabo de Gata national park and the Playa de los Muertos. I haven't had a chance yet to properly explore the Tabernas Desert but might ride some of the Ruta Tur�stico-Cinematogr�fica, see http://www.mancomunidadpueblosdelint...RutaCineEN.pdf

Welcome aboard, Pako! I love Almeria although I've never ridden there...yet.
However, hopefully one day, I'll get the opportunity, especially as my wife has given me a daily update from her iPad, throughout this winter, of the temperature in Mojacar.

Thank you very much for all your kind welcomes!!!

Nice photo, Tim!! May I ask you where you live in the Altiplano? I work in Almer�a but my hometown is in Granada and my father's family are from the area of Guadix where, as you sure know, there are many 'casas-cueva' (cave houses).

And some more photos for SimonRoma, of course!!!!

Cortijo del Fraile (Friar's Farmhouse) built in 18th century, in Cabo de Gata. This place has been location in many films, such as some Clint Eastwood's spaguetti westerns.
