So its my 59th birthday. So what do I do to celebrate? Fly out to Andalusia with mt best mate Thibault for a week travelling around Andalusia. I reckoned this was our tenth holiday together. Possibly the most stressful in the sense of getting all the Covid bureaucracy sorted, including taking a testing kit to do in Spain just before returning, and completing the locator form before going. But managed it all.
We had arranged it so we could fly out after work on Friday evening, so we would be arriving late. Therefore we stayed at a Malaga Airport Hotel. But despite being an airport hotel we still needed to get a taxi to reach it. If that was a pain, it was nothing to the next day when we needed an uber to reach the car rental place. And having been taken to teh place, we found it wasn't the place after all so needed to go back to the airport. Which was very near by, but was not walkable as all motorways. So we needed another uber. And embarrassingly it was actually the same uber that we had taken only a few minutes earlier!
Anyway, the plan was to drive to Granada as the first proper stop on our holiday. But on the way we would do some hiking in the Parque Natural El Torcal. This is an area of limestone rocks. We apparently needed a bus from the car park to the visitor centre, but on being pressed the attendant admitted it was only a couple of kilometres so we walked it. It really was not at all far or difficult.
It was a very pleasant walk, and some good exercise at the start of our trip.

As we drove to Granada we passed Antequerra, which looked a very nice place, but no time to stop.
