Took off north and on route we bumped into the same couple of Brits for the third time right on top of a mountain. El Torcal has some interesting geological features like Bryce canyon in USA that make weird rock formations. It was also an interesting drive up to the summit to say the least.
We used part of the inland motorway system and spent a night just north of Granada on a quiet site by a lake with the snow capped Sierra Nevada in the background and huge carp splashing around in the lake and we even saw a turtle in the shallows. First encounter with giant ants - well bigger than English ones - in the sandy soil. No time for fishing unfortunately but we would not have been able to land anything we caught.
So off again and this time via the old N roads to cut off the Alicante - Costa Blanca coast, which we did not fancy. Hardly any cars on these roads and as we only cruise at about 60 there is no advantage in fighting the big lorries on the motorway . The Andalusian countryside is very attractive with low mountain ranges and millions and millions of Olive trees.
