Perro de montaña


Toffee went climbing today. I declined his offer to join him. Being the pup he is he's quite happy to bound endlessly about. I told him in no uncertain terms that I had much better things planned and it was "no way José"

Factoid: Richard Ford, the 19th century traveller and first British hispanophile, jokingly said in ‘Gatherings from Spain' that the country is just one big mountain. 24% is above 1000 m and 76% between 500 and 1000 m. Spain has an average altitude of 660 metres. In Europe only Switzerland is higher (by a long way - average altitude of 1,300 metres). The highest peak in mainland Spain is Mulhacén, Sierra Nevada (Granada) 3,478m
