Market day and a hike
Dúrcal is a small town about 45 minutes from Albuñuelas or about 30 minutes from Granada. We wanted to go to the open air market held on Wednesdays. All sort of fresh vegetables and fruits as well as everything else one might find at a market. One stall had all kinds of spices available. Another stall had many kinds of fresh olives. We asked for the most typical of that area and bought a kilo of olives. Do you have any idea how many that is? A lot—but we ate them all in the next 3 days! They were quite inexpensive according to U.S. prices.
The setting of the town was beautiful—with mountains in the background. The town plaza was busy.
In the afternoon we took a 5 km hike through the area hills to the small village of Conchar. Beautiful scenery reminded us of areas in Arizona that we have hiked but with snow-capped mountains in the distance.
