Day 7: Drive to Granada

We left Tarifa with Granada in our sights.  Along the way we made a few detours.  Our first was the Rock of Gibraltar.  We couldn't be that close to British territory and not stop!  We drove through customs and to the end of the small pennisula.  Because of the wind, we couldn't go to the top, but we got lots of pictures of the big rock!  It was funny traveling into this small British enclave as the signs quickly switched to English and the streets were full of pubs.



After leaving behind the Brits, we drove up the coast towards our next stop - another town in the White Hills called Ronda.  Another old frontier town, the highlight of the community is the bullring and a huge bridge that crosses a gorge.  The bridge was breathtaking.  Check out the picture below to really understand!




After Ronda it was a straight drive into Granada.  We settled in at another eclectic Room Mate Hotel in the middle of the historic district.  Dinner was more tapas and ice cream!  We stumbled on a little Italian ice cream shop, Los Italianos, and made several stops while we were in Granada!
