Spain is definitely more sophisticated and refined than say Ecuador or Chile. In South America, you are frequently woken up by barking dogs at 3am, but here there is a cat that meows most of the night. Refinement as I say.
Geo generally done a great job plotting our biking routes which has not been easy. However, he was flummoxed by this sign on our of trails which seemed to prohibit pigs on bikes-
As we didn’t view ourselves as pigs, we continued riding.
Our Rjoha tour today took us through some very pretty country with some interesting variety-
At one point, we came to a 15th century castle where some Spanish women were waiting outside. After a short conversation, I agreed to give them a tour and we posed for a group photo at the end-
Unknown to us, our route today necessitated that we ford a stream. Contrary to real horses, we had to carry our iron horses-
A bad trade . Not easy on the bare feet and pretty cold Wasn’t supposed to be a swimming tour
We did bike past a very pretty field of poppies
As I say, a good variety in the scenery and enjoyable if not easy cycling-
As I mentioned previously, the food and wine in Spain are both really good and pretty cheap. We had some of the best lamb either of us had ever had.All accompanied with its own grill-
That’s all for Geo and beautiful Rjoha-
Next for me- a couple of days of hiking in Picos de Europa in Northwest Spain
