Best Towns to Visit in Granada Province (Not Including the Alpujarras)

Granada province stretches from the coast - Costa Tropical  to the north and borders with Spain's largest Natural Park (which is in the neighbouring province of Jaen) Parque Natural de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas. Cazorla Town and National Park Within its boundaries lie the ski slopes of Sierra Nevada and the highest peak on mainland Spain, Mulhacen. Its diverse, beautiful, wild and yet a garden of paradise where tropical fruits grow. I'm going to share with you a couple of my favourite 'best towns to visit' in Granada Province, which don't include the villages of the Alpujarras - that's another day, another post and another holiday, so huge is Granada! Picturesque Castril Almost as far north as you can get while staying in Granada province is the fabulous town of Castril.  A mountain town with an abundance of water creating a small, yet fast flowing river with tumbling waterfalls.

Eat Less Meat - Eat for Elephants Plant-based Cookbook

Since moving to Andalucia we added pulses to our diet but I have to admit not as often as we should and certainly not lately. Hubby is doing more cooking these days due to my working hours, so I try to plan easy meals for him to prepare. With prices rising and five of us to feed, again, for most main meals - which is midday here, I´m trying to add pulses to our menu more often.

When I came across the Eat for Elephants cookbook, a downloadable pdf full of plant-based recipes, for which all the profits go to support rescue elephants I thought 5 GBPs for some interesting meat-free ideas, that hubby, who an engineer by training, could follow, would spice up our lunches. He´s not happy with my vague guestimate measurements. So, hopefully he can measure away to his heart´s content, follow recipes step by step and provide some more interesting meals than we´ve had lately (yes, I have told him, how boring the stew was, could do with some flavour etc.)



So I´m hoping my idea of less meat, more plant-based meals (not telling the meat-loving sons) will be a great experiment, will save the well-spent 5 GBPs (sorry I can´t find the pound sign on my Spanish keyboard) while helping elephants too.

Some feedback on recipes will follow!
