Gobantes, Málaga, on our way to the famous Caminito del Rey hike in the south of Spain: videos.trom.tf/w/j5wZUdhrLwhLc…
We found some amazing places to park our motorhome, but one spot was very tricky to get out of. This was the biggest challenge for our Tortuga (motorhome) so far 😁
We also did the laundry again, bought a lot of groceries for our little fridge, and went for a nice hike around the area.

Here we stayed at Castillo de Setefilla, Andalucia for a few nights and managed to capture the core of the Milky Way: videos.trom.tf/w/h4sbDdKroLKuo…
We also sealed off our motorhome to protect it from water infiltration, and overall spent some 5 amazing days in this beautiful place.

Here we took some photos and timelapses of the night sky using an old phone:

This is in Cerro del Hierro, in the Sierra Morena Natural Park. We stayed here for a few days and were able to capture perhaps our most amazing night-sky timelapse. Us, a bench, and the universe. And we explain how you can do this easily (if you have the right software on your phone).
We were also invaded by goats and I went for a small hike between the beautiful rocks.

Terrible...

Humans have divided themselves into tribes, groups, beliefs, genders, kinds, colors, etc.. In fact we are all the same, part of the same wonderful story of evolution. Of an universe that evolved into us and many other things.
So far there is little to no sign of intelligence on this planet.

The same is true of yeast however.
Religions are insane but politics is just secular religion.
I think we gain sanity when we stop trying to force unity.
We found a super nice motorhome area with services (including electricity) for 6 euros/night, but getting out of there was a bit tricky:

I also found some donkeys and nice scenery in the hills surrounding Fuente del Arco :)

Llerena, Extremadura, in the rain: videos.trom.tf/w/sDJEbPp1R2g1n…
We had really bad weather for almost all of March this year. In this video we stumbled upon an event called “La Matanza” in Llerena, the south of Spain, but it felt like we were at some Eastern European Christmas markets 😄 Also, @Tio hates crowds and can't indulge in cheese and wine, so these kinds of events are not for him ☺️

Extinction Rebellion may have gone quiet, but climate protest will come roaring back
The pandemic and harsh laws suffocated climate movements as we knew them. Get ready for a new kind of action, says journalist Oliver HaynesOliver Haynes (The Guardian)

We got our motorhome stuck for the first time! videos.trom.tf/w/bxTbZkK2TYaUY…
But it happened in a super beautiful place, Cerro Masatrigo, and a very nice local man came to our rescue.
I also did a nice little hike called Sendero Fortaleza de Lares to get an even better view of this area in Extremadura (around the middle of Spain).

I found a very interesting YouTube channel of a homeless English-speaking Japanese man. Why did it interest me? Because I always thought that without electricity and water, etc., without a home in short. A van or an apartment. It's very difficult. This man shows a different kind of life. There are a lot of YouTubers who live in a car or a van or a cabin without electricity, but very few homeless people (by choice. Mentally stable) who have to rely on electrical outlets in cafes and libraries, Public showers and finding a place every night to pitch a tent.

We decided to wait out the storm in yet another place- videos.trom.tf/w/bv3rpVt3GQWZ8…
Playa de la Colada, el Viso. A nice looking recreational area, pretty quiet off season, but the water was contaminated and was full of dying fish! A little bit eerie but otherwise a nice place. In the last photo you can see how flooded it was after all this rain.
Oh and we also found mold under our bed! 😯

On stormy days (which there have been a lot of), we mostly stay inside and eat cheesecake 😁 videos.trom.tf/w/jwu1LtBABCHGW…
We stayed in a motorhome parking area near a little town called Alcaracejos, where we found a lot of white buildings and one very small car ☺️

We visited for free this amazing cave. I think it has the tallest formation of stalactites in the world. 32 meters.
There are people in these photos if you look carefully :D
In this care there were people living some 25.000 years ago. Nuts! And cave hyenas. And they discovered cave paintings there that could be the oldest in all human species history, some 42.000 years ago made by Neanderthals. But still they need to confirm this.

This is me down there...
Mind blowing experience. You have to visit this cave if you can. Put it on your bucket list. The photos do no justice to how amazing the experience was. And from 9:30 every day they provide free tickets if you manage to book them.
Fantastic!
Of course we will make a video about this for our TROMhome channel - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…

This was a bit of a weird place with way too much garbage and too many garbage bins (that were strangely empty), but otherwise a very nice view from our main window! :)

Photo album: Russia, 2025

I visited my family in Russia after over 5 years of not seeing them. Babushkas are getting older, but still walking and feeding cats, ducks and pigeons 😊 I wrote about their funny habits in chapter 3 of my book bigworldsmallsasha.com/book/
Feels so long ago now 🥲
