Benimaurell, green fields and the Vall de Laguar

Hiking in the Sierra del Penyó offers fantastic views of the mountainous landscape. This picture is dedicated to the traditional mountain village of Benimaurell, which is located in the idyllic hinterland of the province of Alicante. The houses of the village shine brightly and form the eye-catcher in the green landscape. The region is characterised by mountains, valleys and gorges, but also by green fields and agriculture. The Sierra del Penyó rises between the two valleys Vall de Pop and Vall de Laguar.

I am particularly fascinated by the vast mountain landscapes, regional history and the rugged shapes of the weathered rock. They bear the marks of time and, in my opinion, symbolise the pure beauty of nature. When I am in the mountains and look at the rocks, I think about the meaning of time. Over years, millennia, millions of years, the mountains have been shaped by the forces of Mother Nature. But people have also left their mark.

This photo is inspired by the tranquillity and remoteness that makes hiking in the province of Alicante a very special natural experience. The view of Benimaurell, the Vall de Laguar and the green fields should bring the scenic beauty of the Spanish mountains into your home.
