Homeward bound

 overnight at Garvao

another castle in Spain

A view from Herman on overnight stop

Castle at Santa Olalla de Cala
After the dreadful weather in Sagres we decided to get back to sunny Spain ASAP and yes you have guessed it - we were once again running on fumes as Herman had guzzled up all the diesel, but once again luck was on our side and we made it to a filling station. Now we were faced with the task of finding somewhere to stay for the night. Eventually we found a place just outside of Garvao. Next day was dull and overcast so once again we set off this time for Mertola, then onto Serpa, then Cortagema - Dieter set the Garmin (how I hate that thing!!!) I queried the roads we were being set and sure enough Dieter had entered a Cotagema in Portugal and not Spain - eventually we set off on the right road. We passed through some super scenery with some fantastic places worth visiting, Arcena, Zufre was very picturesque, the Sierra Morena was super, great castle at Santa Olalla de Cala. We stopped overnight in a lovely remote spot, we have been really lucky with the overnight sites we have found. Next day it was sunny and we set off for our last over night stop.
