Hi Admice. I assume the post is referring to me but , if not, thanks anyway . Living in Granada that is roughly the view I get to see everyday!   The cloud formation in this part of the world is actually quite unique and the effects are often stunning.  The Alpujarras just south of the Sierra Nevada which is basically a long valley running between the Sierra and the (somewhat lower)  Contraviesa mountain range (where I used to live)  has a particular kind of topography  – so Im told  but Im no expert – which  generates thermals that shape or sculpture the clouds in this way.  Apparently the Alpujarras is one of only 7 or 8 places in the world where this happensAnyway,  check out this link which has a few pictures of local clouds (amongst other things) …Cheers Robin https://www.google.es/search?q=clouds+over+contraviesa+spain&client=firefox-a&hs=RxQ&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=fjyWUsO7IILG7Abts4HoAw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=704
