Update.

Spanish press now reporting that the co-pilot, a Portugese national, has sadly died. The Spanish captain remains in a serious condition.
This report contains a video of the crash site that appears to show that the aircraft impacted just below a ridge.

That's very sad... a dangerous occupation without doubt.

A crew with big brass ones, an aircraft with big round ones, formidable combination.
Rest in peace Sir!
Speedy recovery Sir
Thank you both.
