Man oh man the work those walls represent! And the skill, too.

Recurring tire problems... UGH. Apart from an actual crash, they're about the most certain way to ruin an otherwise enjoyable ride.

That really is a beautiful building. I don’t remember seeing it when we were there.

They freak me out too. Safety first, always!

That's just what it looks like Bill. It's unfamiliar to me further north in Missouri.

Looks like what we knew as Chinaberry as a kid in CA.

Why thank you! I appreciate Barry's general good humor about all the little surprises we encounter along the way.

Thanks! It really was a pleasant scene riding through here, just slower than my already pokey pace, and we still had a lot of miles to cover.

It looked completely dry for the first couple miles as we rode next to what was marked as water on the map. Quite a change from your visit there.

Yowsa, your ride looked like a hot, tough day. Your photos of Grazalema are so bright in the sunlight. It's a challenge to capture the scene in the long shadows of a November afternoon, but we were utterly charmed by both of these hill towns.

"Don't worry, you'll love it". That line seems quite familiar. What a great day of touring and so well documented. I am really enjoying following along. Thanks.

Makes for a fine photo though.

Wow. So low.

Yes, for two nights back in 2013. We got there through a long, difficult, roundabout ride through Sentenil and Olvega, ending up with one of our best tales of Type 2 Fun: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/andalucia2004/grazalema/.

The sunshine surely does make a difference Jacquie. We were lucky to catch the end of it in the afternoon. It doesn't last so long in November.
