Cruising Casares / Conduciendo Casares

AS WE DROVE down one street in the center of Casares, Judy moved to the middle of the back seat and held her breath. San Geraldo did not scrape any walls. Amazing. We walked the rest of they city on foot.

MIENTRAS CONDUCÍAMOS POR una calle en el centro de Casares, Judy se movió al centro del asiento trasero y contuvo la respiración. San Geraldo no raspó ninguna pared. Asombroso. Caminamos por el resto de la ciudad.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, POST OFFICE AT RIGHT. (THE CAR ASKS: "DOES MY ASS LOOK BIG IN THIS STREET?")
CONDUCIENDO POR LA CALLE, LOS CORREOS A LA DERECHA. (EL COCHE ASKS: "¿MI CULO SE VE GRANDE EN ESTA CALLE?")

  1. I could drive that, but not fond of narrow spaces.....I would have walked to. Besides...think of all one would miss sitting in the car.

  3. Oh, my heavens! These photos from both blog posts about Casares, are amazing! I'm glad for you to have a new camera, too :) You deserve it, for all of your FABULOUS photos you share with the world here (insert my true smiling face).
    Judy, not the visitor

    1. Judy,
      Thanks. Casares was beautiful and we were lucky to have a perfect day between all he clouds and rain. I’ve been very frustrated with the quAlity of my photos lately. I downloaded the first from my new camera yesterday. What a difference!

      Jerry agreed saying he couldn’t live there. But once you climbed the hill, the views were spectacular.

    1. Laurent,
      Fortunately we weren’t even allowed to drive on most of the streets. Residents or motos only. And all single lane for 2 way traffic.

  7. There are streets made for cars and streets not made for cars. Those are not!

      Lots of old towns and cities with streets like these. In Sevilla we never saw a car without scrapes on its sides.

      We’ve been on streets in Spain that require you to fold in your side mirrors!

      Oh, those narrow streets are everywhere. In Sevilla, you couldn't find a car without scrapes. (And, yes, car insurance is current.)

      We turned the GPS off at that point. We call ours Ditsy Dora (and only sometimes Dora the Explorer). She gets very confused in cities and towns and only seems to do well on highways.

      I would also be stressed. Jerry doesn't seem to mind at all. But our car has detectors that beep and flash when we're too close to something. The car was very stressed.

      That was one of our nicest days recently. We've had some rain and a lot of clouds lately. Right now it's cloudy again and 12C. I know. I know. (But's it's a humid 12C.)

  14. mistress maddie,
    That was one of the few roads we were allowed on anyaway. Most were either for residents s only or two-wheeled vehicles.
