......there's a song there somewhere!!.
Google Earth is a wonderful tool for looking at the tracks and roads that criss-cross the countryside around us but Street View hasn't quite made it to areas out of town so it's difficult to gauge the terrain.
So it was, after leaving Setenil, we turned onto the A-7276 road towards Alcalá del Valle and then onto the CA-414 towards Torre Alháquime.
The dirt road started well, gently undulating and winding its way out into the country, passing by golden fields being harvested and sunflowers just past their best.
However, after driving on for about thirty minutes or so the road started to deteriorate, getting more rutted and looking more suitable for 4x4's or tractors than our little Kia.
Not put off however, and with Anne and Calcetines bouncing around in the back, we continued on into the wilderness.
We were rewarded with this stunning view of Torre Alháquime in the foreground and Olvera in the distance.
The ancient moorish pueblo of Torre Alháquime and civilisation wasn't too far away now.
Nearly there now, Torre pictured, after what to me was another adventure and another road discovered although I don't think Anne would necessarily agree with that sentiment.
In cooler weather, this would be a great walk. Perhaps one for later in the year.
