Ronda to the Med. Via the Scenic Route.


So I did ask “direct or scenic roads?”
There are a few issues with the scenic route, if you've got anything bigger than a Sprinter, forget these roads. Windy doesn't cover it. At times it felt like a 90 degree bend every 50 metres. Single track, no barriers, drop offs of a few hundred metres, road crumbling away in places. Marie loved every minute. The villages were tight, a few mm  either side of the mirrors and steep.
Literally thousands of sweet chestnut trees, and loads of people collecting them. Seriously tough work I’d imaging, very steep banks to scramble along and peace work no doubt.
Sloooow progress, maybe 10 to 15mph a lot of the time. I'll try and do a screen copy of the route.
Loved it, including the stop for lunch at a Spanish bikers caff.
Arrived at our campsite, after some concrete jungle roads. It's, well, very good. If you check out the reviews for these types of sites you'll find a disproportionate fixation on the sanitary facilities. Given the demographics I sort of understand this. We'll move on soon, if for no other reason that it’s €30 A night FFS! It does have cable TV points at each pitch though, there you go you really do get what you pay for. Here's that word again, Hireath🤔
