Equuscapes

It is said you should do something every day that scares you. The drive up the mountain to Medina Sidonia was definitely up there but so worth it for the view, it reminded me of the road from Jimena de la Frontera to Ronda which is similarly steep and challenging. Thankfully Paco is an advanced and very confident driver, and the VW Crafter always soaks up the challenge. Paco says it is a dream to drive.

We parked up in a slightly sloping car park, some vanners are very particular about this for various reasons, some to do with health for example. But for us we don’t mind, and we definitely don’t mind when we are rewarded with a view that was out of this world. It was right beside the town, just a few minutes walk, but all around we could see rolling hills in every direction, classic Andalucían white washed walls, and the sunset was spectacular.

Medina Sedonia is one of the oldest cities in the World, and without doubt one of the most beautiful towns I have ever seen. The history and tradition literally seeps out of every corner and crevice. The town centre has the most beautiful Christmas decorations which we look forward to seeing at night next week.

This was a first visit to Medina Sedonia for some test shots at Yeguada Manuel Salguero – the home of many beautiful Spanish horses. We are very much looking forward to returning next week for sunrise images with the mares and foals.

Medina Sedonia recommended motorhome parking is 13 Calle Alcalá – it’s on the left as you go into town.
