219 – Am I a missing link?

Waking in the small town of Ochre we had a little potter around, saw its 7 towered ruins, lovely cathedral and a churros stall which had closed by the time I got out of bed. Mark swears he didn’t indulge while out with the dogs but that could be sugar in his beard.

The main attraction here is the only modern building which ironically is the prehistoric museum. It’s only little and we were the first in as the receptionist turned the lights on for us. They have a nice selection of locally found animal fossils including sabres, mammoth and hyena.

The little film at the end is funny but a nice insight into the areas history (it’s in Spanish but we got the gist).

We then drove in the pouring rain to Granada and found a free camping spot on the edge of the city, ready to explore in the morning. Fingers crossed for sun, the storms have been awful!
