June 14, Santa Elena

Another beautiful drive. Now I am heading towards Madrid to meet up with Raquel, Anamaria and Monica for Francisco's wedding.

El Chorro was great. The people who ran the cafe were from England and they served English breakfasts. I stayed there for a couple of days, driving around the mountains and lakes. Really had a great time.

Today I packed up and drove over a back road to catch the highway to Cordoba. The road was paved, but just barely. It was one of those country roads were you feel like you've gone back a few generations in Spain. People on horseback and muleback.... and lots of gravel and things to watch out for on the road.

I stopped at a gas station for a break and it just happened that there was a campground right next to it, so I decided to stop for the night. The Eurocup is on, so they were showing the games on tv. So, I watched soccer and drank beer.
