Despite the desert part in the south where a lot of "Desperados" movies have been made such as Western with Clint Eastwood, and Bud Specncer & Terence HIll, we will see as well the northern part which is dominated by Almond trees, Olive trees and citrus fruits...what a beautiful start..

Day 4: Andujar to Alcaucin

Today was a very challanging day. Temperature dropped 15ºC from 25º to 10º with a lot of local showers. So we were lucky and could drive almost around all thunderstorms

Day 5: Alcaucin to La Calahorra

Tofay was another spectacuar riding. We startet in the Sierra Tejada with about 9ºC and arrived for lunch at the beach with sunny 25ºC . 2,5 hours later we have been up in the Sierra Nevada at an altitude of about 2100 m ( +6000ft) with snow and 2ºC what a difference.....and a Cafe con leche warmed us up again So we had from everything a little bit despite the breathtaking views and another 1000s.... of curves. Whatelse do you want  

Luckily we had a reservation it was Friday before Easter Weekend !!!!
