Today we arrived in Salobrena.  It is a white village partially on a hill and partially on a beach.  We found a great little hotel(Hostal San Juan) in the middle that is decorated with pictures and the names of the rooms are the major cities in Andulcia.  It is a short distance from Granada so we will stay here and check out the beach, castle, etc. a little later.  Everything is closed until 5:00, except the beach.  We are thinking it is very sad that we are getting close to the end of our trip.    We went up to the castle at about 6.  It is so nice to see the view from these high places and cooler in the evenings.  It is an interesting area because there are many greenhouses over the valleys.  They grow everything.   Had dinner at a little bogada and they were so nice.  They topped our dinner off with homemade cordials in iced glasses.  Needless to say, I ate too much and it is far too late so I will suffer tonight - and I did -- Ha!!!!
