We were picked up at our hotel. Miguel greeted us with a smile and a handshake. We were a couple. There were 3 other couples already in the jeep. Capacity 8. Climbed into the back of the open top jeep and off we went. Great commentry through the drive. Gave the historical ( Moorish influences)and farming of the area. Olives, almonds, figs, carobs (chocolate substitute) etc. Off road through raveens (hold on tight it gets bumpy) into the interior. Great fun. Stopped to taste the produce in a small holding. Definitely taste the Almond and the Penny Royal liquers( a must buy we did!). Then another short, bumpy drive to a local village for a coffee and cake stop with a another expaniation of the history and buildings of the area. Then a quick sprint to the top of the beautifal hill to watch the sun go down. Perfect timing and a glass of fizz. Then back to hotel drop off Many photos, Bring a fleece as it does get chilly in the hills away from the coast and in the back of a open top jeep.
