Granada’s tram system soon appeared once we left the cocoon of the centre, along with where “normal” people stay. A good network of paths soon took us into the countryside.
Olive trees, quiet roads, happy villages en-route to Antequerra. It has population of 47000, with the highest ratio of churches to people in Spain, circa 23 of them. Plus numerous convents. Must be the climate.
You know the story: Romans to Moors to Christiana etc. Plus UNESCO, including for the limestone hills surrounding it. Which means closing the quarries which build and repair the place. I think the Peak District in the UK have struck the right balance: a living, working, landscape.
Lovely to meet up with John and Adrienne who came to AAntequerra from Pontardawe 8 years ago.
Steep day tomorrow so off to sleep. May add more or comments to photos, do return!
