One of the places we had wanted to visit was the cathedral town of Gaudix. We had passed it last year whilst near Granada but the weather had not been conducive at the time. With the temperatures in the 20’s and the sun shining, now was our opportunity. In hindsight we would recommend visiting the town between a stop to or from Granada.
From our campsite in Güejar Sierra it meant either a journey circumnavigating Granada, which pushed up the mileage or cutting cross country up spectacular narrow windy roads to the main A-92 to Gaudix. (The roller-coaster route which we took whilst towing the caravan to the campsite).
