Oh my goodness! You ran out of superlatives too! Isn’t it amazing here? Yesterday was certainly one of the best days of our tour too. For me there is something about those vistas, that feeling of space, the beauty, the physical part of it, I could go on…that is so, dare I say, addicting!
We have both read your link, the pages before and after, and it is so helpful. We will be reading more tonight. We have already accepted there will be a train at the end of this trip, so we can ride in circles here if we like.
It was a great day. We were both captivated by the views as we gained some elevation. We too were somewhat nervous touring in Portugal and Spain. Neither one of us has been to either country.
2 years agoAmazing pictures! I was already jealous of your ride - this is making it worse!! I've always been a little nervous about touring in Spain and Portugal but you're really tempting me!
2 years agoWhat a wonderful ride! Glad to hear you can ride the via verde.
2 years agoWe are loving Spain too. It was a fantastic day. I just posted an update in the journal. I had to pay our visa bill, and that is when I realized today is Saturday, not Sunday. Duh! The greenway is open on the weekend. Poor Keith. He has been planning routes for an hour. In my defense I had been moaning to him about how disappointing it was that today is Sunday and he didn’t catch on either. I still feel like an idiot though.
2 years agoIt’s too bad that tunnel is closed at the moment. If you haven’t booked into Olvera yet though you might consider Zahara as an alternate destination. We rode there from Utrera by way of Coripe ten years ago and it was one of the best days of the tour: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/iberia2013/zahara-de-la-sierra/.
2 years agoThis is so wonderful. Roads like this are why I love cycling in Spain.
2 years agoWe saw the fields after they'd been harvested--we could tell by the bits left behind. This is definitely more interesting.
2 years agoAn oldie but goodie. Playing that song on out portable Bose speaker at this moment. Haven’t heard that song in a long while.
2 years agoThanks Rachael … much better but last night I was a little careless on a piece of bread and almost hit the ceiling … more advil. Dinner was great but very cautious after that little episode!
2 years agoGlad to hear Keith is doing better!
2 years agoYuck!
