Casa Berrea to Loma de Mariangela

It was not only hard to leave the remote setting of Casa Berrea this morning, but we also had to say goodbye to Manuel, the owner, who has become a good friend in just five days. Before we even arrived, he messaged us links to the many Wikiloc tracks in the area. He made the two-hour round trip from Cazorla three times to bring us fresh bread and local treats, and to make sure all was well with us. He told us the history of the area as he learned it from his days at the family cortijo, located just above Casa Berrea. We are so grateful to have met him!

The highlight of today was passing the very spot where we cycled on our last day on the 2100 km Ruta Transandalus fourteen years ago.Read more
