Just got back yesterday from the Sierra De La Culebra after a weeks stay, we had an English guide called John Hallowell for two days and was invaluable in pointing out watchpoints. I must admit it was hard work, the weather was unkind at times and we put the hours in. It didn't help that the Alpha male of the local pack had been shot two weeks before we arrived and the pack had dispersed, before then six animals had been seen together several times. We were rewarded on Sunday morning with a distant but decent view of a fantastic Wolf in the sunshine from 9.40 till 10.10, a big phew all round, it was all worthwhile, a magic and rare experience.
