Leaving the Costa del Sol, we took a drive through the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountains. It's a long, winding and dusty road up through the mountains and through several villages. We drove through most of these villages during siesta so there was hardly a soul about.
We eventually reached the pass (Puerto de la Ragua) at 2000m, which is normally covered in snow in winter. Just about 1km down the road, we came on to the North side of the Sierra Nevada and a spectacular view of the valley below.
We stayed the night in a small town called Guadix at the bottom of the valley. Apparently there are around 20,000 cave houses in the area so we stayed in a cave hotel! It was fully decked out as a normal house with kitchen, lounge room complete with fireplace, 3 bedrooms and a bathroom! No problems sleeping in there because as soon as you turn out the light - it is really pitch black. Just like a cave... (der!)
