We left Zaragoza about 11am and headed down the motorway to Madrid - Madrid being a stop over only, on our was to Cordoba. We were keen to not take the motorway but there no viable alternate route although we did come off on one longer section to drive the N road just to be part of the countryside. That took us through some nice villages and led to a off road hop to check out the extremely large sheep and goats and to take a photo of the countryside.
It was mostly very difficult to do anything except drive the motorway as the N road had simply been overridden by the motorway. However for the most part the motorway was quiet and seeing the countryside around was easy. We drove through mostly empty countryside with wide flat empty plains and interesting hills around us. The height spot we got to was 1174 metres and it got down to 12 degs. We had planned to stop in Guadalajara but it was raining by this time so we drove onto to the hotel. It’s not in a pretty area - we knew that - it’s just a stop over.
