Zahara de la Sierra and Grazalema

Yesterday we went on our first day tour organized by the base, we went to two of the "pueblos blancos" or white villages.  Zahara is especially known for their olive oil mills.  The ride up on the bus was very pleasant and when we arrived a guide met us to take us around the town.  Then the bus returned to take us to the olive oil mill for a tour, dropped us off, only to discover it was the wrong mill.  After a 40 minute wait for the bus to return and then take us to the correct mill, the bus driver would not drive down the dirt road with a large pot hole.  By now it is time for the scheduled lunch, so our choice was walk up the dirt road to the mill or go eat...everyone choose lunch!  Lunch was really delicious and by the time it was over, it had started to rain.  We headed to Grazalema on the curvy mountain roads in the rain!  We did get out of the bus in Grazalema and popped into a few shops and then found a place to get the kids hot chocolate!  I want to go back and visit the olive oil mill and explore the towns a little more.
