Day 12 & 13- Gaucin to Frigiliana

After a 4+ hour drive from Úbeda, Sarah dropped Brie off and we caught up with old friends in Gaucin for one night! It was hazy and then cloudy in Gaucín (with a surprise shower bringing dinner on an outdoor terrace to an abrupt end).

Food plays an important part in Spanish life, with lunch (la comida) the biggest meal of the day, often lasting from 2 to 4pm. It is common for shops and whole villages to come to a standstill for the afternoon meal and siesta, especially in more out-of-the-way towns. Spanish lunch and dinner times are later than in many other countries. Lunch is typically a large meal, with a starter, a main dish, and dessert. Evening meals, which often start as late as 10pm, are usually a much lighter fare.

We’re off to Frigiliana on Wednesday afternoon.
