Most of the day's walk was through southern-California-like landscape, so typical of Andalucía.
There were only occasional patches of sunlight.
La Pelona, the first peak of the day. This ascent was steeper than it looks.

View from La Pelona to the second peak, Pico de Albayate. It looks pretty straight, but we had to descend and re-ascend quite a way.

The grassy areas grow from many centuries' accumulation of goat shit.

Descending to the river that flows though the pueblo of Almedinilla.
The sign reads, "Passage prohibited for vehicles and pedestrians." I never did figure out why, but it didn't matter; we ignored it.

Be careful about parking your car under cliffs like this....
