All white now

We are not a big fan of the organised tour but sometimes you have to jump on the bus to do what you gotta do. We arrived early and being at the first pick up point gave us access to a full window to view some pretty amazing things on the way. It also gave a good view off the edge of a couple of mountain passes that were not built for a full size coach. We did manage to not pick up somebody for the tour and they were taxied to a meeting point way down the road at a castle (Europe is either castles or churches next stop).

We did visit the ruins of another castle, built specifically to protect the water supply (which was outside it).

First stop was an olive oil factory where some bread and oil and coffee and tea and WC were greatly appreciated. 

Then we hit the winding roads to our first White Village built on the top of a hill. An unscheduled lunch was called for here and our guide suggested sitting down and eating or grabbing a takeaway sandwich. Later when we advised him that the closest we got to a sandwich was a plain bread roll, he said that was what he meant. Anyway, I'm getting used to plain bread as it comes with every meal. I ate mine and Annette went into chip butty mode. The village was a pretty amazing thing with some great views and not enough room for visitors' cars as they fought to park and just get to a road.

The second village visited was pretty boring.
From here we left for the town of Ronda, where the literal translation on the front of their Information Centre is Help Me Ronda. We had 2 hours to look around and were told of a path to get photos of the bridge. We were also told that there was a barricade that we could jump over. It was actually wire and barbed wire, but after watching some others getting through, we gave it a go. Annette did get cut by barbed wire on the way back but we got our good pictures and didn't die, despite the warning signs. 

There were also some purchases around town. Onto the bus and back to Seville was about 90 minutes of sleep time.
Lazy dinner out in the plaza about 1 minute away, and with a day full of Seinfeld references such as the Moops,  Bosco and Ponce de Leon,  I decided on finishing it all off by ordering a Big Salad. All packed up and ready for another early exit tomorrow.
