Olive groves

One of the most spectacular terrains in the world is in the Sierra-Nevada area of Spain. Spain is the largest producer of olive oil in the word and the hundreds of miles of olive groves prove it. They are spectacular. the precision that they were built with, the perfect rows upon rows of olive tress is unbelievable at first.

You can drive for hours and only see the fields of olive trees. This was by far our favorite part of Spain. THere is nothing like it anywhere else.



THe town just into the area of Castilla and La Mancha. There was no one on the streets, not one store was open. It was siesta and they must take theirs very seriously.




I also added the Castilla- La Mancha area, Mark is a huge fan of Don Quijote and this is the area that it took place in.
There were a few of the old type of windmills left, but most have been taken down to make way for the new modern windmills.



This would be an M&M we gave Eve. Did they change the whole "melt in your mouth and not in your hand" idea? She was so proud of what she had done.
