We joined up with two other jeeps full of travelers and UP we went to "discover the real andalucia" which are full of countryside white washed villages and spectacular scenery.
First stop, a Spanish breakfast of brandy and coffee, here's yours.....
Next, a lesson about the olives. They pick them all by hand. Some things I didn't know were that olive trees live for hundreds of years. They are evergreen and get their nutrition, including water, from the air. The color of the olive depends on how long they are left on the tree.
Next little village road was blocked by this herd of goats. 
We had another refreshment in this village, the drink is local, muscatel mixed with local white wine with the most delicious olives....help yourself.
greet the locals and we'll be on our way.
We are now at an almond grove picking them from the tree, just hit them between two rocks and enjoy. They are delicious.
We had some fun off roading through some river beds, some with water, hope you don't mind getting wet, and went further up the mountain on some one lane roads that just dropped off into the mountain. Amazing views that lost something in photos.
Hope you all had a great time....and that fear of heights I had, I'm over it.
Adiós!

I got chased by a scary dog in Andalucia,and all I could think was, "It doesn't even speak English!" Awesome pictures, Nancy. I feel like I've been everywhere with you two.
