🇪🇸 Spain Road Trip Day 10: Guadix → Almería

"Where caves meet canyons, and thyme-scented winds blow your soul wide open" 🏜️💨 🚗 The Drive of a Lifetime Through nature reserves: Endless horizons where wild goats stared curiously from cliffs 🐐 AL-3407 highway: A sun-drenched rollercoaster with coastal cliffs on one side, desert on the other 🌊☀️ Magic moment: Windows down, thyme crushed under tires perfuming the air—pure happiness bottled 🕳️ Guadix: Mars on Earth Cave neighborhood (Barrio de Cuevas) Modern "troglodytes" live in whitewashed caves (chimneys poke up like bunny ears!) 🐰 Mars vibes: Red Sierra Nevada + desert sea = sci-fi movie set 🤠 Almería’s Wild West Tabernas Desert: Grand Canyon’s European cousin—but with Oasys Mini Hollywood tucked inside! 🤠 Saloons, staged gunfights, and spaghetti western nostalgia Unexpected win: Random tapas bar = best meal of the trip (patatas bravas with smoky paprika—yes!) 🍴 🌊 Next Time? Cabo de Gata! Unfinished business: That national park’s turquoise coves are calling my name 🤿 #SpainByCar #DesertDreaming #AndalusiaRaw
