Cazorla

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to explore the Cazorla mountains and countryside near my home. We visited many small pueblos and explored to great outdoors in the most wonderful weather.

One of the very small pueblos that I really enjoyed was Iruela. There was a castle up and the top that made for some great pictures. Even though the sun was out and shining there was a lot of frost on the cobblestone roads which seemed like a bit of a hazard. The older community is much more active in Spain and I love seeing how connected the families are here. We saw several people walking about the streets using the hand rails to assist in the journey.

I just love how these pictures turned out. I am hoping to do some more exploring around the same area again come Spring.

The van from a local bakery was driving around honking the horn so that the people knew it was time to buy their bread. I have been adapting well to my new diet but I still do miss fresh baked bread!

Shortly after, we continued driving until we found an area to stop and explore some trails.

After all the walking I worked up an appetite. We snacked on a stuffed squash that I had prepared the night before. Then we headed to another pueblo to stop for some drinks and lunch. There is a lot of wildlife here so of course they offer a diverse menu with local features. I tried loin of boar and deer with a nice glass of Spanish red wine of course.

Afterwards, we continued our exploration.

Although typically I do not have a car to explore, there is so much here to do and see!! I hope you enjoyed the pictures!
