A challenging but beautiful day. We rode thorugh mile after mile of olive groves, and had a tasting in Priego de Cordova. We sampled top quality (very grassy) rancid (pressed from olives on the ground, but not bad) and typical ordinary what they import to America (oily). The best was the olive jam on crackers. Who knew?
It got very hot!! 30 degrees. I thought I might have a heat stroke. Since we had snow not that long ago in Massachusetts, we haven't had much chance to get accustomed to hot weather. No shade! Hopefully I'll become accustomed.
Tonight we are in Zuheros. There is a IX century Arab castle perched on a huge rock outcropping. Tomorrow will be more olives, and mostly downhill.
