22 Apr (Tue)- we headed for Arcos de la Frontera to Hacienda El Santiscal in the vicinity: N 36 45.972; W 05 46.129. If you put the coordinates into a mapping application, you should be able to see the vicinity. The road from Ronda was very enjoyable, through National Park areas with awesome views of mountains, valleys, lakes, forests, etc.; and rolling farm and orchard land (olive and orange mainly, some loquat), a few towns 'pueblo blanco' (white houses) sitting on top of hills. We saw cattle, sheep, pigs, and a few deer.
Dinner at the Hacienda was a feast for 30 Euro each: Salmorejo (cold fresh vegetable puree with olive oil & vinegar from Jerez), seasonal vegetables with scrambled egg & olive oil, Iberian pork sirloin in sherry brandy sauce, veal loin in a red pepper & cherry tomato sauce, sponge financier of jengivre sauted pears and mousse of bitter chocolate, all quite delicious, and we were stuffed (again!).
