Very good, festival was amazing, people really friendly and food very tasty. Exceptional scenery and La Patrona and Thayfa establishments are really worth a visit. Everything is easily accessible by walking and prepare for very late nights and lots of fun during the festival week.

A historic site of a battle centuries ago. The deep gorge is highly defensible and a dramatic faulted landscape split in two by the gorge full of wild life. Take the old road down through the gorge as the autovia now ignores it as it skims above along its dramatic viaduct and tunnels. Leaving the valley a lovely place to stroll and picnic. Santa Elena on the hilltop was once bustling with merchant traffic and roadside inns. Now a sleepy backwater but great starting out point for mountain and gorge rambles. Great meals in the hotel and a nearby bar/restaurant. Great stopover southwards after boring Castillian meseta. Or heading north, a perfect place to pause for a night and one last glimpse at Andalucia.
