Switched bases to Arcos de la Frontera, this was a place that during the latter years of the Reconquista, was the frontier between Christian-Spain and what was left of the Moors, then based in Granada. The town sits on a hill/cliff, and is called a Pueblos Blancos, the hotel is part of a converted-convent with the Nun's in cloister.

Almost everywhere has a view :-).
Had a short walk around town, confirmed bus connections for the next few days.


Now am enjoying the best coffee I have had in Espana, gotta love espresso!! Catching some rays on the hotel rooftop-terrace, watching “The Backs of Birds” as locals say ;-).
Had a wonderful supper at the Parador, same name as the town. A Parador is a converted historical-building, into hotel&restaurante, in the 90's part of the hotel fell-off!!!!
