Had no idea Spain had this much good looking granite. All I ever see in images/films from Spain is the steep limestone that attracts Sharma etc. These areas look amazing. Thanks for posting up.

Wow, great info!
From the Confessions of Aleister Crowley, "About fifty kilometres from Madrid we passed a magnificent range of rocks. The smiling fertile valley does not count; it is the naked rugged aspiration of the grim granite that leaves its marks in the mind. It was for the peasants to think of their fields and see nothing of the universe but their crops and the coins which they hoarded at harvest, only to pass into the pouch of the priest and pay for a parcel of earth in which they might conceal their carcases from the eye of the vulture."
