Back on the bike... and... off
After three days and four nights of rain and a lot of wind, I can leave Ronda behind me and leave in the cold towards El Chorro. Along the way there is a really nice stopover at El Mirador Ardales. Marcel lives half an hour's drive away in Coin and has a guesthouse with

A forced stop
The weather is throwing a spanner in the works, wind force 7 to 9 today and the day after tomorrow and it will rain cats and dogs for the next three days!
A mandatory stop and I must honestly say that it suits me well. The legs start to get tired and the change in weather affects the throat

Heavy weather
Before I continue my way from the castle, I take some pictures of the nice house. On the descent towards Jimena de la Frontera I come across five beautiful young deer. Skittishly, they run down between the rocks and cross the road. I can't get my camera out in time to capture them, even

The always difficult third week has started. In the Grand Tours the question is always who has become the least worse in the two weeks before. After spending almost 70 hours, 800 km and more than 12,000 meters of elevation on the bike over the past two weeks, I feel the effort well. My legs, neck and

Africa
14 kilometers of sea separates Europe from Africa, at the Strait of Gibraltar. Called Estrecho by the Spaniards, the national park has also been given that name. I expected that the weather would have to be very clear to see it, but in the photos you can clearly see the hills and mountains of Morocco

Don Quixote
Where Don Quixote suffered from delusions where windmills seemed like giants, I -really- had to make do with 5-6 Bft right against it and windmills that underlined that.
Nevertheless, a beautiful cycling day that took me past a lot of water. You can leave Cádiz from two sides: via the bridge

Cadiz
What a nice city this is! One where sherry, a large harbour, carnival, sun, antiquity, conviviality and hospitality come together. Because it is originally a (peninsula) island, I entered the city yesterday over an enormous bridge, the Constitution Bridge (3 km long and 70 meters high), completed

Fog and the city
I was looking forward to and well prepared for three hours of eating sand at sunrise. Because of the low tide at 9:15, I thought it would be wise not to leave after 8:00. Armed with a headlamp, I drove 8:03 onto the beach.
The fog in combination with a beam of light blinded my vision and

A day of views.
Yesterday I decided to leave early to reach my destination before the rain. Just late today to wait until the sun had already done its first work: I got on my bike without a jacket and with short legs on the way to the sea. That soon presented itself when I left Moguer. Kilometers long

In the Vuelta they would say that today was a transition period. In this case it refers to both leaving the mountains and preparing for better weather. Wanted to get in before the rain and that worked out perfectly. When I was taking a shower in the Hostal, it was also raining outside. Furthermore, an

An apparently unmemorable day. We left a little later this morning to buy winter gloves, a travel bag that was torn the first day, pepper spray and spare valves. The store was supposed to open at 10:00, but that ended up being 10:30. I have experienced that more often than not. Pepper spray? I have already

Muy, muy, muy frio! It froze last night in Cazalla. Crabs for the drivers and frost on the grass. Fortunately, I did not give the overshoes to Anne back to the Netherlands. Do miss winter gloves for the first 30 km, mamma mia a bit cold. Just as I start to warm up, I come across the mountain biking 3

A nice lunch is a nice way to say goodbye. And where better than on a rest day after a city walk on the terrace in the ☀️! And what luck, here in Cazalla de la Sierra the first place in Andalusia that has vegetables on the menu. And good! Not for nothing did I receive a Bib Gourmand from Michelin.

What a wonderful day! Spanish 3 Kings! Fantastic views, wonderful sunshine and lots of climbing and wind. We left Fuente Obejuna after having had breakfast and some provisions in about five degrees and a wind of 30 km/hour (partly thanks to Remco, I had to think of this one by Boudewijn de Groot: open.spotify.com

Jumping
Because I have not yet recovered well despite the stop in Ronda and the respiratory infection from before departure has returned, I am in my hotel room in El Chorro toying with the idea of taking the train to Granada the next day.
Today I rode completely on asphalt for the first time to prevent
