We had a good lie-in this morning after lots of early starts and rather short nights. We had breakfast at the house before leaving for a fairly short drive to go to Setenil, one of the villages called a Pueblo Blanco because of all the whitewashed houses.
We enjoyed a nice lunch in a little bar called "La Tasca" which was in a fascinating building set into a cave. Setenil is famous for having lots of houses set into caves. We saw quite a few of them and walked up to a couple of churches which unfortunately were not open. I guess November is not peak tourist season!
After Setenil we drove to Ronda le Vieja where there are some interesting Roman ruins including a theatre from the 1st Century CE.
We followed that with a quick trip to Grazemala where we did a bit of shopping and had a quick drink in a bar before driving back to the Cortijo. We had a nice dinner of soup, Lomo and Spanish hard cheese, washed down with some Cruzcampo beers.
As you can see in the pictures, the weather has been wonderful today, which is a real bonus for November. The full moon this evening is also spectacular in this area where there is not much light pollution.
