We drove the couple of hours to Olvera, a small city that is right at the intersection of Sevilla, Cadiz, and Malaga provinces. There is a bike/pedestrian path that was developed from a converted rail line. Interesting fact, although the rail line was built early in the last century - its completion was stalled by the Spanish civil war and was never finished - so although the route is a converted rail line, no train ever used the line. We picked up mountain bikes at the start of the trail and rode for about 22 km and then turned around and came back. We made quite a few stops each way (vulture information center, picnic at the turn-around, lots of drink breaks in the many tunnels along the route). We were on the trail for a little under 6 hours.
When we returned to Olvera, we took the opportunity to walk around the town for a while. It is a lovely little town which was particularly interesting today because there were lots of people out decorating and building alters for their Corpus Christi procession that was scheduled to happen tonight. We just looked around and enjoyed the great views before heading back to the car and heading home.
Once home, we cleaned up and decided that it was a perfect night to go out for a quick dinner. Now we are home again, and I think it will be an early night. Tomorrow more cleaning, class and dinner with the landlords
