Sunday 28th January - Granada to Sevilla via A402

Sunday 28th January - Granada to Seville via A402 

It started off sunny but as I got to the coast it rained and the wind was extremely strong, I watched a plane trying to land in the wind as I drove on an open dual carriageway we both had problems keeping straight.

I was packed up and on my way sat nave said I would arrive at about 4 pm but that was without stops n traffic. I was not doing the fastest route , I was in fact going to coast then back inland to Seville.

The start of route A402 I could not help myself it did allow overtaking.

I stopped at a bar/hotel which had loads of bikers there. A lovely open fire was burning we were up high it was cold and there were remnants of snow on the ground.

As I pulled up at the coffee stop remember that truck, it leaves just before me and later I catch up with it.

Incredible views, shame it was not sunny.

The road was amazing, I started going faster and faster.

A motor cycle caught up with me , as I was stopping every now and then to take photos, So I raced him a while leaving him behind, as I slowed he caught up again, and I pulled over to let him by. As I did so I saw that truck ahead.

When I saw the road was clear ahead, I over took the truck it was a rangers truck he knew the road.

I drove a little quicker to make a gap between myself and the truck the road was awesome.

The road seemed to go on forever here are a couple of videos taken directly from the sat nav.

I love this road 1

I love this road 2

I love this road 3

I love this road 4

I love this road 5

I love this road 6

I love this road 7 , that's enough to scare anybody coming in the car with me,

Some viaduct

The sky went black and it rained almost all the way to Seville

I drove thru Ronda but it was raining so hard and the traffic was terrible I did not stop , I might drive back here from Seville on day.

Arrived late at Seville, but safe parking and I got a whole apartment for the week with washing machine and cooker , near a bus route to the centre and about 45 minute cycle ride into the centre as well all on nice green cycle paths, very flat.

Saturday 27th January - Castles and Spanish Guitar.

Saturday 27th January - Castles and Spanish Guitar.

Well I was not very well last night only just got back to the Hotel before Spain left my backside, did not eat very much at dinner, just a bit of Chicken and some rice. 

So decide not to do very much as I had booked a seat to watch Juan Habichuela and friends in Granada at 9 o'clock.

Got up and had a bit of breakfast tummy was not too bad, so decided to investigate the GR3201 and try and find the troglodytes caves and the castle I pasted on the way to Granada last Tuesday.

The reservoir levels are very low. 

Yes that white stuff on the side of the road and in the trees is snow.

Look how low this reservoir is ! 

Lots of stuff for sale here ... 

Troglodyte caves in the hills here. 

A great road which then runs into just gravel

well it did not say you could not drive up to it! 

So I did .. 

That was the only door into the whole castle.

\On the door was a sign saying only open on Wednesdays. !

Leaving the castle 

Back over the top down the GR1301 road.

On the C2 Bus 

Waiting in the bar for the concert to begin.

Lots of clapping but no encore ...! 

On the way back I stopped off at a bar , and blow me the guy who was singing in the concert tonight only went and walked into the same bar.
