A stop at the troglodyte Museum and an exciting picnic! Day Ten

And so we bid farewell to the little village of Mairena and wind our way to Granada. Since the trip is relatively short and we are fairly certain that we won't get lost, we detour in Guadix to see the Troglodyte Cave Museum. These people continue to live in the many limestone caves of the region. What with the hot days, cave dwelling is cool and very practical.

From Guadix we headed west and, overcome with hunger pulled off the road at one of Spain's many natural preserves. We soon found a shady spot along the path and pulled out our picnic. No sooner did we begin to eat than we were swarmed by hundreds of bees. Never have we moved so fast to pack up and get back in the car!
