Sierra de Albarracin is a nice range of mountains. Then we came to the Serrania de Cuenca which is a more serious mountain range and equally beautiful.
Halfway up what turned out to be a 1584m peak we came across this pair on their tandem bike. From their friendly "Allo" we think they were a French couple and we hope their brakes were rock solid as after the hike up to the top, they would have had to come down the steepest and longest downhill road we had come across.
Somewhere near the top. The views were fantastic but as usual, it is very difficult to capture the full beauty on camera - the depth of vision is missing on photos.
This arch was rather captivating. Gorge after gorge appeared on the journey. Once again, very difficult to photograph properly.
Along this gorge, there were some hiking planks and surprise, surprise, Andrew had to try it out. The river is the Rio Escabas.
I, with my heart in my mouth, had to photograph him balancing some 15 or 20m above the sheer drop down to the water. I talked him out of going for a walk along it further.
More beautiful cliffs.
The town of Priego perched on a clifftop - eye candy for tourists.
Embalse de Buendia seems to be the name of the dam and complex of lakes alongside the town of Sacedon.
This is our last post from Spain. We are flying out of Madrid this afternoon. We had our last lunch in Spain at this fabulous little outfit at the airport;
The little tapas buns were only a little over a Euro each and very tasty.
We had clocked up just short of 3,000 kms driving around Spain for our three weeks. We had a most enjoyable time. Now for our next adventure.
