Antequera, Jerez...where next?

Last weekend we visited Antequera for a Honda Motorcycle concentracion, riding over there on the VFR in convoy with our friend Clem on his Yamaha. It was a long, hot day but we made the most of it, enduring the loud DJ music as best we could (what did you say??), taking a tour around El Turcal (great mountain area for biking) and managing to get home again about midnight. Then just 2 days ago we repeated part of the trip in a 7.5 ton truck, taking a friend's possessions to Jerez de la Frontera...and back again within 24 hours, to keep the hire costs down. This actually involved 3 hours loading, 4 hours of sleep and quite a hassle when it turned out that the truck was too big for the tiny streets in the heart of Jerez! Ofloading was easier but it's a good job we're young (???!!!) and fit!
Where next might include Cabo de Gata, as we will be heading that way in early July for a brief meet with some of the family. I wonder if we will pass through Andarax wine country...I might have to stow a case of Tempranillo under my helmet...should be fun.
