Lots of nature-y trees and hills here. Coool.
We bid a fond farewell to our lovely hotel.
The roads are great for driving.
Either that's a reaaaaally big swimming pool, or a small reservoir.
Sooooomebody was trying to take a photo of me.
I bet camping here is a lot of fun.
Cool old bridge!
There are a lot of burned down forests here (forest fires are not uncommon in Spain), but what's weird is they build these little bunker things going down the hill ...
I think that big hill in the middle is supposed to be an island, but the reservoir isn't all that full ...
Snow!
Cows!!
Hey, there's a dam out there!
We decided to stop for a coffee and wander out to the dam to see what was up.
It's pretty big!
You can rent various water craft and tool around on the reservoir.
Eeek! Girl!
Oooh, electrical generation station.
We weren't the only ones sight-seeing around here ...
There are lots of cool farmhouses and ruins and other fun things to see as you tool around in the countryside ...
More olive groves and cool mountaintop towns.
We were driving along, and saw this town in the distance with a castle or something. We decided it was a must stop, so we turned around, got on the creepy small road to get there and roared off in our crappy Fiat Punto.
This is what olive trees look like up close.
Cool looking town. It's called Castello Seguro de la Sierra. (phew!). It's very old and castle-y.
Approaching the town, the castle kinda dominates the whole time.
Here is the Plaza del Toros. It's actually carved out the rock and tiny as hell.
We then proceeded to walk up the hill to the castle.
Cool views down below.
Cool views UP to the castle.
There are still even ruins from other castle parts.
Well,we made it to the top to discover ... the castle was closed. D'oh!
But the views and the walk were worth ti!
We continued on and reached Cuenca after a couple of hours of driving. We decided to hang out that the Parador here too, which was really well done, and very close to all the "action".
