Looks like maybe it was raining that day? We are always pulling for the bulls, not the runners.

Looks slick! I bet bulls don't often fall.

Well.. I would send you a photo of strawberry 🍓 from here, but, alas, “my” strawberries aren’t any better ☹️
I think even though the color is appealing and no whitish centers evident, it’s the time amount of warm sun which is necessary to give them their flavor.

Front page of today’s Santa Cruz Sentinel even has a full picture of strawberries being harvested now.. :(

Wait until July.. 😬

They are all about this size. Hard to find a "good" one.

Hello Grampies;

We are fellow E-bike touring cyclists from Victoria, B.C.and friends of Keith and Kathleen Classen. Here is a short blurb about us. https://www.r-m.de/en-en/magazine/darlene-john-superdelite/
Our bikes are currently in Barcelona. We plan to bike Mallorca and the Pyrenees this May/June. Then northern Spain and Portugal this Fall. I am following your current trip as we plan to bike Andalusia next Feb/Mar to beat the BC blues. I don’t have to explain that to you. It would be great to communicate via email to share experiences and lessons of E-bike touring in Europe. Email us if you wish at ebikestouring@gmail.com
John and Darlene

Apparently this is an option from anywhere in Spain but one would need to confirm for a specific place. The transfer takes 2-3 days and pickup is only on weekdays. All the tools and packing materials were at the Correos office. They hold your boxes at the end point for 15 days apparently. We will let our readers know how it goes on Friday when we (hopefully) pick up the bikes in Irun.

Glad the bike shipment option worked out, and at such a reasonable rate. It’s a solution that never occurred to me. I wonder if it’s available in other major Spanish cities.
