Guide Paul picked me up from my pension in Seville shortly after 9am and then we picked up another couple, which I was fine with as it made my trip over 100€ cheaper for them to come along!!
After about two hours through gorgeous scenery, we stopped in Olvera for a bit. Then on to sentinil for another look around and coffee break. Buildings in the center of town are literally (said in a Chris Traeger voice) built under massive rocks. What a sight!!! Then 45 more min through winding rocky gorgeous mountains to Grazalema where we had lunch at a local place. I had a tomato "salad," which as I learned in Portugal is just a plate of sliced tomatoes. These were covered in about a half a head of raw garlic slices that I elected not to eat. I also got the local fried peppers and a plate of fried chicken pieces.
Then we took another treacherous but gorgeous drive to zahara, where we had a short wander. It was hot in these mountainous villages, I can't imagine what sevilla was like today quite frankly.
Then a final pretty drive to ronda, another one of these white villages, but its much larger, and it has a train station. I plan to mostly relax here before a grueling final couple stops in Granada and Madrid.
10:15pm - back in the b&b after a light tapas dinner at Faustino. Here in ronda a lot of places do real small tapas of about 1€ which is cool so you can try a lot of things. Wandered a bit after eating and caught the sun disappearing behind the mountains. Will have to get to the bridge a little earlier tomorrow!!
Pictures tomorrow AM
