We did our Alcaraz run, and it was really cold.
We started our run by meeting in the "Plaza Mayor" of Alcaraz and taking a picture with some of the Land Rovers on this event. We ask for official permission to do this route, as we were around 15 vehicles, and all worked out great.
We started by heading out through asphalt roads, until we got on dirt roads, somewhat interesting (deep ruts) all the way up to a fording over a stream, here we realize how cold was around here (probably in the -10C neighborhood), the stream had a layer of ice of around 10 inches and was impossible to go across, this is a video we did on the recce trip a couple of weeks ago, we saw some ice but not Titanic worthy!!
After that, we had a food stop in some really nice spot (a camping place when temperatures are nicer) we saw that the swimming pool was frozen solid too, the dog was experimenting with the ice surface, he was amused by that.
After that we drove over quite a bit of snow, all very beautiful and picturesque.
This is a picture stop we did at "La Silla":
We went then all the way up, next to the Almenara, here you can see 2 pictures of both sides of the mountain and finally a picture on the top of the world (well, it feels like it anyway).
After that we went back to Alcaraz to enjoy some local food and great company. We'll be there again next year.
