The Mountains

Within 20 minuties drive of Valle del Este you can be up in the relatively cool climate of interior Andalucia. Visible from Valle del Este is the village of Bedar, its white washed buildings nestling in the hills, get to Bedar and the views across the coastal plain to the Mediterranean are breath taking. To carry on inland you must climb the mountain pass at over 3500 feet towards the villages of El Marchal and Lubrin

Further on and the land levels out to reveal olive groves around the village of Uleila del Campo. How far you go into the Andalucian interior from here depends on the time you have and your thirst for breath taking views.

If you want to escape the heat of the coast and visit the more tranqiul side of rural Spain a drive into inland Andalucia is an ideal way of seeing spectacular views and the more traditional side of Spanish life.
