Up We Go Again!

It was a beautiful morning to start the day in Almunecar. We left our nice little hostel and pedalled out of town along the nice flat esplanade by the water, the same one that I had run along yesterday. The weather forecast had been for showers and 16C so we rugged up and Steve put... Continue Reading →

Spanish Hills!

Today we had our first ever completely flat start to the day! For the first 25km we had a beautiful flat ride along the coast in amongst the sea of lycra! It was a kaleidoscope of colour with cyclists of every age, shape and size absolutely everywhere up and down the road, with the occasional... Continue Reading →

Trading Bike Wheels for Train Wheels

Today we said goodbye to Seville. This has been one of my favourite places and it’s a place I could  certainly happily live for a while. Not long term obviously, but I could happily spend an extended period of time in Seville. It has beautiful buildings, parks and plazas, nice weather, it’s very vegan friendly... Continue Reading →

Blending In

Today was just a day of blending in with the folks of Seville as we took it easy, did some roaming and some organising. After looking at the map and finding it’s about 120km to the next campsite, we decided not to set that sort of record in a single ride and to take a... Continue Reading →

A Donut Day!

Just a short post today because we had a fairly quiet day. We planned to cycle out to the Plaza de Espana today and along the way stop at a laundrette to do some washing. On the way there, we stopped off at a little vegan bakery that I’d read about, to have a quick... Continue Reading →

Stunning Sevilla

I love Seville. It’s a beautiful city. Simple as that! Today was a roaming day and in the beautiful Seville sunshine, we roamed the streets and cathedrals of this lovely place. The buildings and architecture are beautiful, I love the different plazas with their central fountains or statues and I love that the city has... Continue Reading →

We Finally Made it to…Seville!

We woke to a chilly morning in the forest after a night of new and interesting “night noises” - lots of owls hooting, dogs barking and things going bump in the night. I jumped at the chance to do a run this morning and make use of the nice path than ran through the trees,... Continue Reading →

Stop! Police!

We packed up from our overnight hotel stay in Huelva, to begin our pedalling towards Seville. We’d done all the route navigation the night before and had a great direct path to take us to our next campsite, about half way to Seville. As we left the hotel I had a definite feeling of “We’re...

Run Forrest, Run!

Today was the day I got to do a test run to see if the stressed bone in my foot had healed and… I ran! This is a big deal because I’m not happy when I can’t run and it’s been five weeks, so today was an important day! We got off to a late... Continue Reading →

Adeus Portugal And Hola Espana

We awoke to a chilly but sunny morning on our last day in Portugal.  We had breakfast, packed up and pedalled out of one of the nicest campsites I’ve stayed in. As we were leaving, Steve called into the camp mini-mart to grab a roll or something for lunch and soon emerged with two bags... Continue Reading →
