February 16, 2025,Von Caleta de Vélez nach Competa

Today I did a nice mountain stage, from Caleta de Velez to Cómpeta. The connection between the outward and return journeys still needs to be improved (climbs and gravel roads). But otherwise it was a great tour with around 1000 metres of elevation and just under 50km.

A fantastic tour with a fantastic view. It goes directly on the road, but there aren't many cars going in that direction. I wouldn't do the tour the other way round, because there is usually a mountain on the right and few opportunities to stop and enjoy the view.
Lots of picnic areas. Wonderful.
