      Hi Cara. It is an amazing area, and full of history! Shame we couldn't show you a bit more of the hill fort, though. We could see some signs of covers up on top, so they may be doing an archaeological dig?

    What a beautiful place, the town was so quaint, the countryside reminded me a little of the western US. Very cool to see the views and rock formations out there. And there's nothing better than a rewarding refreshment in the end, good looking beers

    • @DesGreene
      @DesGreene  2 года назад

      Hi Nicole. Yes, the rock is very soft shale or some type of mudstone, and it gets carved into some great formations by the weather. It also washes the trails away, so very easy to get lost like we did! 😁

    Really enjoyed you walk around town with the fountain, narrow streets and walking paths and interesting stucco architecture. The countryside hike was gorgeous. The music you selected fit perfectly with the location. Glad you found your way. The terrain looks difficult with the steep incline and the hot temperatures.

    • @DesGreene

      Hi Bill & DeAnna! There are hundreds of these little white villages dotted through the mountains. They really are beautiful to explore! Only a short hike, but quite steep and tough in the heat. Luckily I didn't get us too lost! 😂

    • @DesGreene
      @DesGreene  2 года назад

      Hi Stephen! It is a fascinating fort. Its natural decences would have been excellent in prehistoric times. But I've often wondered how that would have changed over time as weapons became more sophisticated (with it being overlooked from the surrounding slopes).

      Hi Dave. It was a warm one, and we did end up bushwhacking a section 😰 Those paths get washed out a lot, as it's very loose shale (that's my excuse anyway! 😁) I think the beer was Estrella or something...was ready for a proper pint when we got back to Blighty! 👍😁

    You two live the life, eh? Having read "South from Granada" (Cambridge University Press), and remembering the scenery he very eloquently narrated, it was interesting to see the house where Brenan had actually lived and written - a far cry from his escape after the horrors of WWI.
    Sorry about the Fortaleza, as the saying goes in old Castille, "don't look for a reason, just remember where you are!" Was that 20,000 euros for the fort's renovation, or 200,000? A.t.b

    • @DesGreene
      @DesGreene  2 года назад +1

      The village still seems very proud of Brenan. I've never actually got round to reading South From Granada, I must do at some point!
      I think it was 20k investment in the fortress. Somebody I spoke to afterwards suggested they may be doing an archaeological dig, rather than restoration work. Would be interesting to know what they find!
