Sorry for taking so long to post the pictures from my hike this past Saturday. As you probably already know, we went to La Alpujarra, in the Sierra Nevadas, to go hiking and explore the town. We ended up going to the town of Capileira, in la Alpujarra, which was about a three hour windy bus ride up the mountains. Luckily the weather was pretty nice this weekend, so the air was just starting to feel crisp and fall-like but actually wasn't that cold. All the towns that were scattered throughout the Sierras stood out so beautifully against the mountainside with their white buildings and bright flowers in the windowsills. It was especially delightful since all the trees turning from green to bright orange and yellow. I just love fall!
Once we got to Capileira, we set out for our hike, which was much easier said than done since none of the trails were marked that well. I think that we wandered from the trail at least a few times but (luckily) we found our way back to Capileira thanks to some other hikers from Sevilla. We also ran into a goat herder and his two dogs, which was really amazing because we could hear the bells from the goats' collars resonating throughout the mountainside. I can't wait till there is snow in the mountains so I can go back!

I miss my dogs...
