The road south from Malaga winds its way between the sea and the mountains.
We visited Castillo de Castillar, whose history reaches very far back. There are many cave drawings in the area. Because of its strong position it has been fought over by the powers of the time. It was especially important in the wars between the Moors and the Spanish.
Breathtaking views from the top........
.....even as far as Gibralter.
The people from the old village of Castillar de Frontera have been relocated to a very new town with modern facilities.
The site alocated by the town Council for camper vans is beside a swimming pool. "Hey! Make for that shady bit in the corner!"
Seeing Gibralter Rock in the distance gave us a sense of excitement as we got nearer to it.
There were queues of traffic waiting to get in so it was a slow process the nearer we got.
