After a good night's rest, although a little short with the sunrise time, head for breakfast! On the menu is homemade churros and a large glass of ColaCao (a kind of chocolate), it's super good!

Then, we are going to go shopping and a small location from the roof of Sam's house for what we will see this afternoon. We also take out old consoles until the meal.

In normal times, a nap is required after eating, for digestion, but also because from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. it gets BIG heat. Guess who was wandering the streets in the middle of a dodger?

We start by taking a tour of the charming little streets of the city.

There are a lot of gatos hanging around the streets ... I'm talking about Gatos, cats.

Then here we are on Paseo Cervantes, Sam explained to me that it was here that ferias were done before. Now the ferias are lower in the city and much larger too.

We then head towards the Parroquia de la Anunciación church and the town hall.

To descend with the main street Manuel Salmerón, where preparations for the feria are in full swing.

By a magic identical to that which had made us look at the Jura to say ''we will climb to the top!'', And where we went, several times. The hill of Parque de la Alpujarra had the same effect on us. While climbing, Sam explains to me that the Cacti called Prickly Pear trees are disappearing throughout Spain, destroyed by a parasite which makes them die and like falling into dust, leaving only the more solid structures of the plant.

Further, before attacking the last piece of trek, we meet almond trees, from where we eat some fruit.

And finally, here we are at the top of this hill. We have a beautiful view of the village! Well... village, village... which still has more than 12,000 inhabitants !

We start to go back down, but the water bottles are empty and the sun is beating, returning home to refresh ourselves. Sam's cousin also invites us to greet him (and why not enjoy the pool a bit?).

Along the way, we come across a herd of goats in the middle of the road.

A little rest, swimming and we launch the drones, the view is beautiful from up there.

Time is passing and it will be time to go eat, return home, we prepare and we meet everyone at the tapas bar.
You should know that a tapas bar here works easily: you take an alcoholic drink and choose a plate of tapas that comes free with. You can also take a plate of tapas without the drink for around € 1. The menu is full of other things, meats, fish, vegetables, ham croquettes, and so many other delicious things! For my part, I start with a Tinto de verano (red wine and lemonade special to this drink and ice cubes) with Bombas stuffed with meat and spicy tomato sauce. Then chicken fingers (pollo! Which is pronounced ''poyo''). Then Croquetas de jamon, ham croquettes.

And it's the end of the day, go to bed! Tomorrow we will have a lot of walking to do for the visits!
