We did! We stopped here for two nights in 2019 on our ride from Santiago to Valencia. On the layover day we revisited the Mezquita and then rode an out and back across the river toward Castro del Rio, still very high on my list of best cycling roads anywhere. Thanks for the reminder that I forgot to add a link to the second visit. Doing it now.
4 days agoMan...that cat must have really pissed Rachael off!
4 days agoIt really is a striking place. Every one of the alcoves is different and worth attention.
4 days agoYup. This night ranks high on our list of most often told tales. Right up there with locking her in an outhouse.
4 days agoGreat shot and I hope you get a chance to go there again.
4 days agoAnother classic Scott and Rachael story!
4 days agoThat's much more beautiful than the stainless steel plates embedded into the sidewalk naming the major cities of Canada near our Olympic Oval from the 2010 Olympics.

1 week agoTiming is everything! You baked in Grazalema in September 2004 and we froze in November 2021.
1 week agoI did as similar ride with my UK friend Dave in the late 1980s. I had a Moulton and a Cannondale back then and he used my Moulton. We had no real idea where we were going and just stumbled upon Anteqera and Ronda.
1 week agoStunning indeed. You've taken me back to our ride from Alozaina through El Burgo to Ronda. Between the climbing and the howling winds I remember it as the toughest day of the trip, and we did half your mileage, just 29. Respect!
2 weeks agoSorry, didn't see the pannier nor the passports. But this is eighteen years post the loss.
2 years agoActually, that’s my old Euskatel-Euskadi jersey, that I got in Segovia on our first trip to Spain in 1996. By the time I finally retired it it was completely washed out, but back then it was still bright.

Madrid!!
3 days ago1978 we drove from Germany to see Spain. Went through Madrid at rush hour and the central roundabout half a dozen or more lanes wide was a terrible mess, bumper to bumper going faster than we could navigate and seemingly endless numbers of streets! We missed our turnoff and had to do another spin around the confusion before we found it.
