I drove through the Quebrada in late afternoon, and the trip was nothing less than spectacular. The light was warmer and, on two occasions, I had to stop the car and gasp as the mountains seemed lit from within. The washouts on the road from the heavy rains are yet to be fixed and, it appears that, in a couple of locations the diversions will become permanent.
Again, the wonderful autumn light compensated for the lack of greenery in Cafayate. Early mornings were very cool, and the sun did not rise over the east mountains until after 8 o'clock. The temperature reached the mid 20s C, but the sun was not searing as it can be in the summer. I was able to eat outside in the evening and was comfortable with a sweater. I loved it – just as I loved BA at this time of year.
Much renovation going on in town, and I noticed a soon to open rest/bar by the name of Mythos just down from Wine Museum. Sounds like souvlaki to me!
I leave you with 2 photos and promises of more to come after the weekend.
