Today we left the town of Santa Pola on the coast as we were getting tired of the end endless Surfers Paradise type towns that populate the Mediterranean coast line & headed inland to the small mountain village of Albarracin just west of Tuerel. This is a popular spot in summer & winter for hikers, bikers & skier's in winter. Temperature today is a very warm 33 deg. On the way in from the coast we passed numerous small towns that all seem to have a very old castles built on the highest point. There is literally thousands of hectares of grapes in the hills & numerous piggeries. Tomorrow we will visit the Castilla La Mancha,
See my Spanish is improving. The locals find it difficult to understand our NZ accent which they believe is very strong. Other than the occasional wrong turn in the town because the GPS struggles to keep up with the numerous roads & alleys, navigation & riding on the right is not too difficult.
Loving the updates. Wilf & I are looking up the villages and following on a map. Keep it coming Nath
