When we tired of the busy beach towns, we drove into the mountains. Following narrow, twisting roads we never knew what we would find around each hairpin turn. When we were about to give up thinking we had to be on the wrong road, we would round one more bend, and there before us appeared a delightful white mountain village with traditional red clayroofs. The unbelievable scenery and discovering the villages always made the trip worth our while.
Here are a couple of our finds:
Casares
Istan
A monastery in the middle of nowhere
It´s amazing what you can find when you leave the beaten path!
And on the only real cloudy day we drove to Gibraltar because we were so close. We did not go across due to bad boarder line-ups that day. We will leave that for another time. But I finally got to see the famous Rock of Gibraltar I have read and heard about since I was a child.
It was quite impressive and begs to be explored.
We need to stop exploring for a time and find a place to live. It was fun being vagabonds for a while and I have many story ideas rattling around in my head. I hope everyone is keeping warm in spite of cold weather reports we are hearing.
