Another road worth driving on, in this region, is the road that leads to Sierra Nevada from Granada, A-395. I climb all the way to 2500 meter where I arrive at a rest stop with restaurants where bus loads of tourists are enjoying the 280 degree sweeping view of the pastoral beauty of rolling mountains and valleys. At 3000 m, there is an observatory and a mountain pass that would take me to the Las Alpujarras, but the pass is closed when I get there. This road is similar to the A-376 from Sevilla to Ronda and Marbella as far the beauty and the technicality.

On the way up to Sierra Nevada not far from Granada, I was slowed down by a gang of Vespas. Six women were riding in a close formation at slightly less than the posted speed limit. I followed patiently waiting for a passing lane to emerge. But all of them turned on to a driveway leading to a big white villa on the right side of the street. They had to be having a pedicure party or some kind. After all it was a siesta time.
