In October 2009 we travelled south to the area of the Sierra de Grazalema and then on to have some time with Barbara Easton in her holiday home in Marbella
Our first stop was in Berchules in the province of Granada at Hotel Los BerchulesIf you want a bike ride through the village. On the first day, 7th October we went on the recommended walk and for the next two days toured around, including the lovely village of Grazalema. Our photos:
