Since I had to stay longer in Germany than planned, I went back to Andalusia across France at the weekend.

It's a tough tour, but I'm always happy to drive back like a little child.

During the trip, the dirty weather in Germany alternates with that in France, and little by little the sun, the magic light and the warmth comes back again.

When leaving Germany it was dry, in the direction of the French border it got wet, and this did not change after the border, it rained briefly and heavily then again nothing and 50 kilometers further again rain, fantastic weather for travelling.

Nevertheless the weather got better, the rain stopped for a while and changed with the sun, the road was relatively free and despite the tight schedule there was time for some photos. However, I couldn't stop everywhere where it would have been worth to take pictures directly or a good point to take pictures was simply not fast enough to drive to.

Hopefully a little bit of the mood comes over with the pictures, especially this French town is worth visiting, there is a flower festival in summer at the castle. This is something I know because I have been there in summer two years ago in 2018.

And also in Spain sometimes dark clouds come up, but that was over quickly, and both the country and the weather became more and more to my taste, you can feel the flair of the south.

...and after that, we crossed the border to Andalusia with approximately 24° at meanwhile 17:00, it is simply a fantastic country.

Let the pictures inspire you a little bit, I think you can put yourself in my position and understand what I mean, I think the pictures speak for themselves.
