Montana Roja (September 2018)

In past years I would have taken more wide angle photographs whilst away on holiday, being eager to capture as much of the landscape as possible.

I particularly like the first image which could have featured in my previous new topographic posts due to the combination of a partially completed road and the line of villas below Montana Roja:
