It turns out that Cervantes' work was not entirely a bunch of entertaining, silly stories. Remember that the ultimate in right-wing governments was in power at this time, i.e., the Inquisition was in full swing. So, social commentary was couched in allegorical stories, pointing out the silliness, corruption, arbitrariness, etc., of the society of the time. We skip the windmill tour, and hike over to the castle. Sorry, but it's closed and locked.

Getting closer to Granada Susan decides to explain about the olive industry. Unfortunately, we managed to catch Susan in one of her few shallow areas of knowledge. We are left wondering how olives are made edible, and what are the grade differences between the various oils. It's tough to be a guide, but it makes for an especially strong contrast for us. These two were certainly fulcrums of a great deal of history, some good, some ill.
