At the other end of Zahara, like two blocks away, was another Restaurant called Cafeteria Bar Nuevo. It had several tables set up on the street with very colorful orange seating.

The next day we ventured to Zahara de la Sierra, an even smaller hill town north of the National Park. It had a restored castle perched high above the rock cliffs in the center of the village. While painting, the bar tender let me take a glass of wine out to my easel while I painted, maybe even two. When I finished, I went inside to have lunch and was stunned by the view of the lake below.

After a few days, we took the car out and headed out to another small White Hill Town in Andalucía Region of Spain called Grazalema. To get there, we drove through the Grazalema National Park. What a stunning area.

We spent five days in Arcos de la Fontera. We drove in with a car! Didn't realize that the "streets" would be that narrow, smallest being close to six feet wide. At seven and a half or eight feet wide, traffic went both ways. Most cars were scraped down both sides. The smarter people drove scooters, most of which were Vespas. This one was a Beshi.

We drove from Toledo to Arcos de la Frontera, Spain in two days. The scenery was tremendous. Rolling hills covered with mostly wheat, sunflowers or olives. Occasionally there would be grazing land, forests, and castles or windmills.
