Grazalema

Un pueblo chiquitito y precioso, Grazalema is one of the Pueblos Blancos of Andalusia. The Center organized a free trip for us, so I went to explore. There was a bit of hiking to do, which was gorgeous, it was nice to be outside of the city for a little bit. Even the bus ride there was incredible, with amazing vistas of farmlands and greenery. Then we walked down to the tiny town, which takes about 15 minutes to walk around the entire thing, and got tapas. We tried the famous payoyo cheese, which I didn't think was very impressive, but it was alright, and I had chorizo frito (literally fried sausage), which was delicious, but i'm kind of regretting eating it. Then we walked a bit more around the town, it was so quiet except for in the center. Almost no one to be seen on the side streets, which is quite the comparison to Sevilla, where people like to joke that "la mitad de la vida esta en la calle" (have of life is spent in the street).
