We enjoy walking in the countryside. We try to make it a discipline to regularly go and explore some area nearby where we live. Never mind how long you stay in a place, there seems to be never enough time to scratch but a little fraction of the map (which is, after all, two-dimensional, which you try to fill-in with lines). | We enjoy walking in the countryside.

Walks and Hiking
Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino y nada más;
Caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace el camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante no hay camino
sino estelas en la mar.
Antonio Machado, Proverbios y cantare.
We enjoy walking in the countryside. We try to make it a discipline to regularly go and explore some area nearby where we live. Never mind how long you stay in a place, there seems to be never enough time to scratch but a little fraction of the map (which is, after all, two-dimensional, which you try to fill-in with lines).
On the period from 16 October (2011) to 4 August (2013), since we lived in Garching, we explored the Bavarian Alps (in Bavaria, south Germany).
On the period from 6 October (2013) to 18 June (2016), our terrain of predilection for an in-depth exploration was the Sierra de Madrid (in Spain).
Since April (2017) onward, we are exploring the shires of Britain!
Excursions
Occasional hiking trips that were not part of a sustained and continued effort are listed here:
In Spain
- Walks around Rascafría, a favourite spot of Elena's parents in the Sierra de Madrid, on November (2007) and February (2013).
- Fuente de la Campanilla, in the Sierra de Madrid, on 3 June (2012).
- Hoyo de Manzanares in the Sierra de Madrid, on 27 January (2013).
- Cañón de los Almadenes in Murcia, on 23 August (2013).
In the United Kingdom
- The Trossachs in Scotland on September (2012).
- Hiking the British mountains and hills (2017—onward).
