Natural History Photographs


On our way from Barcelona to Casa Mur, where we would stay the whole weak, we visited two locations, Alquézar being the second one. Alquézar is a beautifully resored medieval village, making it a favorite tourist attraction. From within the village you can enter a gorge along a sometimes quite slippery trail, but it is well-maintained and leads you along the cliffs of the gorge via metal footbridges. This has its pros and cons. On the plus side, one can see various chasmofytes at close range; on the down side, since space is limited and the trail is busy, it's not easy to take your time for making photos...
