Los Apuljurras

BUDAPEST: On the first full day in Grenada we hired a car and drove up into the Sierra Nevadas. Quickly rising above the treeline, the snow capped peaked were just beyond us. We'd come up over 3000 metres in less than an hour when we were turned away. It's a national park at the top and we didn't realise. So we drove back down then around the mountains towards Los Apuljurras a smaller mountain range. A road winds up and along the mountains, at times falling away dramatically to the valley floor. We took pictures of the stunning countryside and stopped at a couple of villages that had been built, like precarious mountain goats, into the sides of the mountains. On the way home we visited a rustic Spanish village where Rob's parent's had once purchased a pile of bricks. Proper Leone country.
