Zahara de la Sierra

Doug unfortunately did not have a great sleep but was ready for a "scenic drive through the mountains". Up narrow roads with significant drop offs, cyclists, motorcycles and some RVs. We thankfully got an early start such that we were first to take up a parking spot near a mirador (viewpoint), the first of many. The lake is actually a reservoir and the 360 degree view was spectacular. The first so called pueblos blanco or white village, originally part of Arabic culture. Repeated pattern of Moorish ruins and a church on the hill then the town built around it and narrow streets through the town (usually with no parking available!).Læs mere
