Pictures - Southern Spain!


That´s one big chip! Pretty tasty after a 1,000 ft plus climb


Riding on the coast is never a straight line... Up and Down. Left and Right.

Coolest hydro foil sail boat thing ever... Mar Menor, Cartagena


Spring time in Spain


Ahoy...

Passing Cabo de Los Gatos and some rain storms on the Med


Thankfully talked our way past this closed road... otherwise backtracking 15km!


More coastal riding trying to avoid the mountains... Not sure if this is easier.


Bag of pastries, the beach and sunset after a long ride.


Beach taxi... Thinking of trading in the bikes


Some random Spainish Sunday parade


Riding through an empty tunnel under the moutain. Nice!


Rhonda, Spain. Bullfights, Hemmingway and big cliffs


The gear...


Believe it or not, this is the new bridge. The one they through people off during the Spanish Civil War. Crazy.


Sunset high in the Sierra over the puebla blanca town of Grazalema


The mountain roads of te Sierra de Grazalema. A favorite.


Ancient mountain church in Zahara.


Our road out of town from the old moorish tower battlement


Sierra de la Grazalema riding... some of the best!


Zahara streets.


The amazing view of Zahara de la Sierra

Some random family


Typical Sevilla street. Just narrow enough to ride!
