Following a couple of days walking around Almogía over the Christmas break, I've added 3 local signposted hiking trails to OSM.

I'm especially pleased that OSM-based outdoor maps will now show connections between the Camino Mozárabe to the east and the PR-A 293 to the west, via the summit of Santi Petri. Both were already mapped, but until now it was difficult to be sure from online information if there was a waymarked route between them.

Before and after screenshots:

Map from hiking.waymarkedtrails.org showing trails near the village of Almogía. Two long trails are mapped, but there are apparently no trails linking them.
Map of the same area as the first image, now showing three short hiking trails that link the two original trails.

Also as part of mapping these recent hikes, I've been trying out uploading some of my survey photos to #Panoramax via @MapComplete - mainly of guideposts and information boards/maps. Previously I only used this kind of photo to inform my mapping, without sharing them. But it seems kind of a waste to leave them sitting on my hard drive.

Of course the danger is that I'll now start worrying about the lighting and composition of what used to be mere throwaway survey snapshots...
