March 16th: Arrival at Granada
The site is 10 miles from Granada and fairly new. It is terraced and has stunning views over the Sierra Nevada, Spain’s highest mainland mountain range. Although the camp is at an altitude of about 3,500 feet, as you can see it was warm enough to sit out in summer gear and admire the view. That’s a sapling, by the way, not a fishing rod at the side of Jane.
The site organises a free trip into the local Natural Park once a week in 4 X 4’s. This was the day after we arrived, so we went. The 4X4 took us along some dirt roads with sheer drops but lovely views over the mountains and ended at an abandoned quarry. The rock mined was stark white as the photo shows and was turned into gravel chips for a multitude of uses including road building. The whole area underfoot comprised these gravel chips making it look like a pure white beach.
