Spain

Climbing mountain peaks on Spanish Islands off Africa is like a trek to Machu Picchu. People lived here thousands of years ago due to the climate and springs/cenotes for water. They had no power, no cell phones no medicines yet were an amazing civilization.. Stone trails lined with olive groves, lemon trees, almond trees and limestone sheer cliffs. Passing ancient villages as you climb. Mountain goats and of course always a couple jack asses on the trail. The abandoned castles are amazing feats of construction thousands of feet up and built thousands of years ago in 700 to 900 AD. The first pictures are the destination peak... as I promised to climb .....the rest are the climb and the summit highest peak in the Balearic Sea. Following the Spanish coastline.
​The next peak will be Jungfrau in Switzerland, the highest in Europe.
