The hostel doesn’t usually open till 8am but the guy kindly allowed me to leave the keys in a flowerpot. I said 5 or 6 but it was 6 20 as i left. I consumed a lot of fruit for breakfast
The road winds its way towards the sea. Mainly down hill but not steep. As usual the excitement of seeing the sun ride over the horizon fills my heart with joy (until the heat hits me like a sledge hammer). Second breakfast and coffee was at a large motorway hotel and cafe.
The price of our tomatoes and other fruits in tge UK is the south of Spain being covered with field size plastic green houses to make them grow. Its an abomination.
Yes and seeing the sea is exciting. I expected the road to be a littke undulating and it did not disappoint.
I have split this 750 km route into 9 seperate routes. Just for convenience. And today i finished one sndvstarted another. As i had a coffee and looked at the new route profile there were 2 blips of hills that i knew i would be clumbing today and a massive mountain reserved for tomorrow.
And what a shock when i saw the hills, so steep rugged gravel. This section of road had been car restricted, not fully but practically none, it definately makes the travel experience more pleasant. I plodded and pushed in the sweltering 2pm heat. Eventually topping to spectacular views.
2.20 at the campsite.
A Couple of Days Ride Outta.......
