Javier Urbón de colmenar Viejo (Madrid)
Place: La Pedriza del Manzanares. Parque Nacional de la Sierra del Guadarrama. España
Description: Hatching of a Treparaptor guadarramensis. The old villagers say that, on cold and typical nights of this part of the region, and with the starry sky, great granite bolts crack and the last remaining climbers hatch from them, crawling through their infernal chimneys until they reach the top of it, and then they shout to the sky “Lower me a star!”. But they are just tales from the fairytale mountains.
