As of Sunday, I moved to my sister's home here in Algete, 40 km northeast of Madrid and with great views of the Sierra de Guadarrama. In the centre of the skyline is the craggy outline of La Sierra de La Cabrera, a favourite walking and scrambling area. At the bottom of the shot is the hen coop. Lovely fresh eggs for breakfast!

Strange hand shape. I once knew what this granite oddity is called but I've long since forgotten. Behind is the summit of Cancho de La Bola, home of vultures.

Torre Windsor burnt down on this site in 2004 and El Corte Inglés (think cross between Harrods and M&S) bought the site and made it one of their flagship stores. (And I was pleased to see the classic Triumph bike there!).

I know I've posted this square before but it's a pleasing place. And anyway, back problems mean I don't walk as far as I did even 2 weeks ago so I was pleased to walk this far today.

The highest peak of the Sierra de Guadarrama, Peñalara, can be seen on the horizon to the right. Mid picture is the disused railway line that goes under the Sierra from where I took this photo and which I walked through a few years ago. Before Covid, there were plans to re-open the line, which only closed 8 years ago. I recall the trains.

Madrid's obelisk memorial to its war dead. Not far from the Museo del Prado. It was taken on November 11th, last year but not at 11 am! (Perhaps better on full screen).

In the Sierra de La Cabrera. Two varieties seen here. I like both the blowsier pure-white petal one and the more compact carmine-flecked one.
