Water a'plenty....


In grey, overcast weather today and needing to get out for a break, we drove the short distance to the reservoir at Zahara de la Sierra, about twenty five or so minutes drive from Olvera.
Zahara is a beautiful "pueblo blanco" set on the side of a hill overlooking the normally azure blue reservoir but today it only reflected the grey skies above.




We stopped on the top of the dam to take a few pictures before skirting around the edge of the water to rejoin the main A-374 Ronda to Algodonales road.
The reservoir is now apparently completely full. Not surprising after the heavy rains of the last two or three weeks, the first time we have known it to be so since moving here nearly three years ago.
