The hills are alive

We had a rough idea of where we wanted to go but were pretty flexible at the same time. Eric lent us his Navman (GPS jobbie) and she proved extremely useful, although at times she became confused and occasionally a bit moody. Eric introduced her to us as 'Navbitch' but we decided that Edith would be more appropriate.

Our first drive took us into the hilly interior, through the beautiful white villages of Rhonda, Grazalaema, el Bosque and into Arcos de la Frontera, where we had booked a hotel. Besides being white, all of the above were also situated worryingly close to the edges of the various mountainous landscapes. A little bit like a game of architectural 'Russian Roulette' but nonetheless some of the most amazing locations and fantastic places for on foot exploration.
