We left Arcos de la Frontera, which requires a driving through the labyrinth of "streets" until exiting at the base of the cliff. The curved building atop the cliff is the Parador (hotel). Note grazing cow at bottom. |
Drove through Sierra Grazalema park. Spectacular scenary and wildflowers. |
Alison enjoys the landscape. |
On to Sentenil de las Bodegas (Donald's favorite), a strange little town by anyone's standards. |
Many of the buildings are built into old caves along the river. The architecture is in no way influenced by the presence of the caves - traditional Spanish roofs incline from a traditional front fascade up to the cave roof and abruptly stop. The ceilings and back walls of the buildings feature the natural cave walls. Pretty weird. |
Our hotel in Sevilla, despite a very traditional exterior and inner courtyard, has way modern rooms (including wide-format TV). We later walked around and located Karil B's engagement location. |
Ken learns that marriage is a compromise, so while he doesn't understand why Alison wouldn't want his socks laid out on the floor "looking like dead people!", he can live without doing so. |
