Cancho Largo from Cancho Gordo

Thanks, John. Granite in the foreground but not elsewhere. This accounts for the marked difference in the look of the two areas. Mondalindo, the mountain opposite, was mined for silver and gold and also for quartz, although I don't know what this was used for and I don't know the the underlying geological structure. Its flanks, which I pass by on the bus, remind me of North Wales slate quarrying areas. My Spanish isn't good enough to easily look it up!

Superb rock pile and view!

These rocks are amazing..................it's easy to think that someone had carefully laid them in place making sure they all fitted together perfectly............like building a dry stone wall but on a massive scale.

That's what you get with this particular type of granite, Keith!
