It does my head in to see ripe lemons on the road and all over the pavement, squashed and marked, and obviously unwanted. This happened in El Bosque, one of four main 'pueblo blancos' in the Grazelema Nature Park east of Seville, and famous for its cheeses. Their goats cheese was delicious.
We'd hoped to locate the Griffon Educational Observatory set up by the chair of our Wiltshire Astronomical Society. No luck, but we found the ideal wild camp on a mirador at over 3,000'. Our cup of tea did taste good the following morning as we looked out over the park. And then on our way down to the picturesque village of Grazelema we saw some griffon vultures flying around a rock above us - three landed and kept a watch out.
We went back to El Bosque to celebrate being away for 8 weeks, (and surviving) at a delightful 'rural' hotel where we were practically the only guests. The pool and a cool room with balcony had nothing to do with it! In fact it prepared us wonderfully for the next two days spent with friends Alan and Liz at their 5* villa in Frigiliana. Thank you both, it was so good to see you there with James and Esther.
