Aldeaquemada to Almuriadel and home
Likely to be the last post of my finished Transandalus until I calculate each days journey. I had arranged to leave at 0700 and still didn’t get away until 10 past. I was cold and kept the jacket on for … Continue reading

Aldeahermosa to Aldeaquemada
Another very varied day on the Transandalus and almost the last. I only left at 0730 after having breakfast and picking up 2 bocadillos from the cafe bar. The initial part of the route was in well irrigated olive groves … Continue reading

Decided to leave at 7am but really left at 8am after turning off the alarm in the middle of the night. The weather forecast keeps saying 22C but on arrival says it’s 29C or more. However the forecast time of … Continue reading

Seron to Cortes de Baza
Ok so I’m back on track but still one day behind. I was worried that I wouldn’t get into the only suitable hotel tomorrow night and that’s still the case. I’ve emailed twice and got no reply. I was quite … Continue reading

Senes to Seron
Truly great day with steep climbing and huge descents. I packed the bike with everything but the handlebar bag the night before. After coffee and orange juice I was away by 0730. It was cloudy! I was already at 1030m … Continue reading

Sorbas to Senes
Another grand day and very varied but too hot for a Scotsman. Got up just after 7 to try to get away early. The hostal restaurant opened a bit late just as I was about to order at the restaurant across … Continue reading
