After a nice Thanksgiving visiting family on the East Coast (of the U.S.) the wife and I (that’s right, we got hitched) traveled to Spain and Portugal for a cycling honeymoon. As you would expect is was a wonderful experience.
We cycled the blue line over four lovely weeks
We encountered lots of thick fog
One of the best parts of bike touring is eating with impunity
Extremadura made for great rural cycling
Aracena
Lots of nice Castles
Seville
We found cycling in the mountains the most rewarding. Although the climbs could be hard and long. The descents are pure downhill bliss.
White wash is the standard paint job in southern Spain
