Exploring the White Villages of Andalusia, Spain
We rented a car, and a cottage, and traversed the narrow winding streets through the mountains of Andalusia, Spain to explore the beautiful white villages, or Pueblos Blancos.
We started off in Arcos de la Frontera with a really tasty meal. Olives stuffed with anchovies, a duck pate with raspberry jam, and we split a simple grilled mecha sandwich (pork infused with spices). The restaurant was called Café y copas La Vinoteca (
After that, we made a few pit stops in other villages, but we had to rush a bit to check-in at our Airbnb. We booked a couple nights in a cottage near El Gastor. The ride up to the cottage twisted up a hill, past sheep, onto a dirt road, and past olive orchards. The little cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It was quaint, and the views were incredible. There were olive trees on the property, and the owner actually made her own olive oil that she gave us a bottle of when we arrived. She also provided us with coffee that went really well with the breath-taking view. We really loved this place.

The cottage that we stayed in:
The next morning we set our to do a loop around the giant blue watter reservoir.
First we stopped in Algodonales, a town famous for it's fresh spring water which you can drink right out of the town fountain.
Next we made it to Zahara de la Sierra, which was probably the most gorgeous thing I saw the entire 3 weeks we were in Spain. It teeters on limestone cliffs that overlook pretty much everything in Andalusia. The views across the reservoir were amazing. They also have a castle up on the very top, which we hike to and even got to climb to the top of.
After a cold beer, we finished off our day (or at least the video) in Grazalema at a restaurant called Gastrobar la Maroma ( where we ate veal burgers, shredded potatoes with fried chicken and quail egg, and a smoked salmon salad. A great meal that fueled us for a short hike in the area.
This is an incredible part of the world. The mix of Spanish culture and Moorish architecture make it a very unique place with views that will be remembered forever. The food was great. The roads were a blast to drive, and we totally fell in love with the small cottage, cooking up dinner, starting a fire to stay warm, and enjoying the fresh mountain air.

Vanlife 2018 Part 5 Paragliding in Algodonales
Our long dash from the rain finally pays off as we make it to the souht of Spain, Algodonales. A paragliding hot spot which tends to get the better flying weather. Not to say we didn't have some bad weather days (we did), but in general after our mad dash South it was good to get some sunshine.
Until that is there was too much sunshine! We were moving into summer and Algodonales gets unbearably hot in summer. So after about a month of on off flying, some repairs to Lemonade, a lot of hiking and some chill out days, the heat just became too much.
Shade is at a premium in Algo and sleeping in the van was sometimes difficult with the intense heat, and our last two weeks in Algodoanles we might have flown once just because we didn't want to be out in the sun.
So after getting what we came for, flying, we decided to make our way back North. Initially we were going to stop at some different spots along the way and even head to North West Spain, but Lemonade started making some really bad noises which made us nervous, and we didn't want to put her under more stress than we had to.
With this in mind we cancelled all other plans and decided on making a beeline for Annecy! Where the weahter was looking great!
