Day 11 - Almerimar to Almaria
Last day. Ride to the van. Coming out of Almerimar was not the most memorable ride. Hit some cycle lanes and service roads. Noisy traffic on one side but benefits are not alot of climbing.
There was an option of another route which was potentially prettier but weaved in and…

Day 10 - Montril to Almerimar
Got to Spain via the ferry which was not full. The staff were relaxed about us rolling our sleep mats and actually got a great night sleep. As we went through customs we were made to remove out bike bags to put them through the scanner. Would have been easier…

The original plan was to go via Cueta then to Tangier, but we checked the route and decided to head to Tangier med port. Some food place to eat along the way and even found another tortoise on the road. This one actually pooed on Paul. Stayed in Tangier port…

Day 6 - To Chefchaouen
This was not initially on the plan but we were keen to see the blue city even with the pain! As it turned out this became a gorge ride with taxing climbs but equally amazing views.

Day 5 El Jebha to Steha
Another day of lots of climbing! So here we thought we had found a perfect spot to bivvy. Stopped in Steha for a well earned break and ate at Estrella del mar. Took a while to come but when it did my pizza was amazing. The lads had tacos which…

Day 4 - Al Hoceima to El Jebha
By far the toughest day! Big climbs that seem to go on and on. The route profile had 3 big climbs. There was confusion on whether we could do all of the climbing. Actually quicker to walk in some cases.
Limited area to possibly stop for the day so kept…
