Oh my God, I'm in Portugal 🇵🇹
No more heat today and once again away from the main roads, a really beautiful stage.
The ferry crossing from Ayamonte to Vila Real de Santo Antonio was the highlight. Just traveled back in time an hour across the river.

32 degrees, no shade, 40 km/h headwind, not the most beautiful route. Good night!

This morning we spontaneously changed our plans. We couldn't find any suitable accommodation in the mountains, so we stayed with friends in Seville.
Beautiful landscapes, Andalusian white villages and great tapas.
The only thing we didn't have to do was face the headwind for the last 30 kilometers.

If someone had told me a few years ago that I would one day cycle 104 kilometers uphill, I would have thought they were crazy. Now I'm the crazy one.
Although my legs weren't so good today (I spent too long walking through the Roman excavations in Mérida yesterday), I really wanted to get to the ham village of Monesterio today.

Today we took another shorter route to the old Roman city of Mérida.
It was pleasantly cloudy and not as hot as the last few days. Pleasant climbs and a little headwind.

First we started with a 35-kilometer descent to Placenzia.
Then we went on a deserted national road across Extremadura.
It was good that I had replenished my drinking supplies to 4 liters in the meantime. 30 kilometers before Cáceres everything was empty and there was no village in sight...
A very beautiful

Mostly on an old Roman road. Beautiful scenery, but difficult to ride.
The climb at the end was partially impassable. Steep and gravel road would be a huge understatement.
But one of the most beautiful routes so far!

Finally a hundred in Spain. 🇪🇸
Today we had a slight tailwind. But the first 30 kilometers were very adventurous in places. The path (Eurovelo 1) was sometimes completely overgrown, sometimes so sandy that you had to push, then several kilometers through a bull area, right through a hunting party that

Headwind again, but only half as strong as the last two days.
From midday onwards the weather got a little better and the sun came out now and then.
I spontaneously decided to get a bungalow at the campsite because it was forecast to be 5 degrees again tonight.

Tour d'Honneur with colleagues.
From Tavira, 3 colleagues rode with me and in Olhao someone else joined us and we rode the last 37 kilometers together.
Then there was a great reception in the office.
I did it, I'm really there! 3,780 kilometers in 40 days!
