Mainland Europe - Day 59
La Barrosa --> Vejer de la Frontera

After enjoying the cool of the coastal breeze we headed in-land again to see the 'White Villages" of Southern Spain. From afar they look magical. Clusters of white perched on top of rugged, barren cliffs. From within they look great too. Gorgeous little cobble stone streets and cute little courtyards between houses.
As they day got hotter and hotter the locals became few and far between. It seems 'Siesta' is very much a part of life around here. The streets were deserted, shops closed and shutters pulled.

By the time things started to open again we were starving and parched. Once again we sat down for some tapas. They are so good, I could eat them forever; olives, potato omlette, garlic mushrooms, spicy sausage, tomato and cheese salad. As evening was settling in we decided to head back to 601 rather then find a hotel for the night. It was a beautiful two hour drive over the mountains to get back to Cabopino.
Our two night jaunt was very successful. We had city fun, coastal relaxation and of course delicious food everywhere we went. But it was also lovely to get back to 601 and of course Wimbledon is starting. Can't miss Wimbledon!!!
