DAY 25 JUNE 5th LEAVING ALMEDINILLA and HEADING TO GRANADA

Always an interesting healthy and unique breakfast with Davina and Raul. The organic foods are displayed on the first place in the manner of a clown face with slices of banana or watermelon below Kiwi eyes or strawberries and both days the eyebrows were very thin slices of pears. Second coarse consists of homemade organic yogurt with honey. The bread is organic crunchie and delicious with the scrambled eggs and homemade jams. Coffee finishes off the meal and you full without being stuffed ready to tackle the day’s challenges ahead. Today we must travel again and so we were off to arrange the cases and luggage so that Raul could get his exercises too humping them down two flights of stairs. The drive to Granada just over 115Km was uneventful and no stops were made not even for photos. Between the two GPSs were tracked directly to the front door of the hotel.

We got our bearings and wandered to the Granada bullring for refreshment and to choice a location for lunch too. We shared a House Salad according to the waiter it has more ingredients than a mixta salad or so he said. Jane stopped there but Paul had a piece of swordfish that f

illed his 12 plate and then a tad more off the edge(s). Back for a siesta and then a dip in the rooftop pool. We say dip but really it was just a soak of Paul’s ankle because the pool is NOT heated and it only opened or was filled 5 days ago. Chilly is not descriptive enough for that temp of water.!! We found towels at the pool and had to pay a 10 euro per towel deposit at the front desk. Supposedly past guests had been swiping them so they began a deposit scheme to reduce the thefts. This short break in the routine meant it was time to search out opportunities for the evening round of tapas etc. We started across the street with the Big Tapas Place where locals, dogs, and kids enjoyed the warm pleasant evening. A beer with a tapa is 1.80€ and a large draft beer with tapa will set you back a complete 2.00€. Jane tired of this crowd and so we went down towards the bullring where Paul ordered a grilled ham and cheese better known as a mixto sandwich. Back to the hotel by 1030 and Sunday was history.
