Great time for booking for a mountaineering course. The snow is great and the weather sunny. With sunset falling this week at nearly 8pm, this allows for loads of time for mountain ascents or ski touring. Remember to add to this cheap beer, tapas and good company!

Who is the bear?
El oso es muy famoso en Inglaterra. Se llaman “Bertie” y el es para los niños!
Mira las paginas “http://www.where-in-the-world-is-bertie-bear.co.uk/”
Jaja-ja. ¿ Entonces el “oso perdido” anda por Sierra Nevada?
