Winter Tour 2008 – Day 7: The day started of cloudy, and we had to decide which way to go next. We had been considering Cordoba or Toledo but because of the changing weather chose to go further south towards the coast again.  On our way south we drove through the stunning deep gorge of the river Jucar from Alcozarajos to Alcala del Jucar.

Especially in the area of Cubas many picturesque houses have been cut into the cliff face along the tiny road. A restored 15-century castle high on the cliff is dominating Alcala del Jucar, overlooking the cascade of white houses that are covering the hillside. For the night we picked a campground in El Campello, a city north of Alicante.
