The Bandit

Welcome to the White Villages of the Genal Valley and Júzcar! We came here for a pastel painting workshop and enjoyed the hospitality of the town. Stop in the bar and to see “The Bandit” and hear Pavarotti, the canary. Tell them when you’ve found the cache and get a recommendation for a couple of local hikes through the olive and chestnut groves. The remains of the first factory in Spain is not far down one of the trails. This is a regular cache with room for travel bugs.

Eso es un cache normal can espacio para bichos de viajes (“travel bugs”).

On a weeks holiday with 7 old mates from scouts (40+ years ago!!). The other 7 are completely hooked on golf and cannot unerstand why on earth I would rather only play a couple of times, and "waste good golfing opportunities" by going caching. The whole week was taken up with their laughing at this collectively, but asking more questions about caching privately. Ah well, I enjoyed a good cache fest in the sun anyway.

The last of the day for me. Juzcar is a lovely white village. Parked up and walked down to GZ. I'd read that the cache had been moved and checked a likely looking spot. And there it was. So I can confirm that all is well, its under a small pile of stones about 20 metres to the left (as you look at it) from GZ.

And into the bar to resist the bandit, but not the tapas and a well earned drink.

Found the cache, very easily because all the content was lying around in front of the "building". We tried to assemble all parts together. A man was around watering the plants, he also was in the obvious cache hiding site... we hid it 20 m to the left of the original coordinates under a pile of stones...

Thanks for this nice place

Wow !! Found "only" in my second attempt -and "only" in its third re-location-. Wink

Good hiding place but too much exposed to "mugles" IMHO.

Nervertheless, welcome to the enthusiasm for the Valley of River Genal.
