An 18 days solo ride full of surprises… from the house of Michiel & Alice in La Nucia to Alicante, Murcia and all the way along the Sierra Nevada to Granada. Next Sevilla before heading north into the desolate beauty of Extremadura: Zafra, Merida and over the Béjar mountain range to Salamanca. Last but not least further north into the Picos de Europe, which were my source of inspiration for this ride. All I had heard and read about the Picos is true, it is one of these places where you meet eternity… The Atlantic Costa Verde days - where I expected the most rain - were all sunny:) I speeded home in 5 days through France, still in lockdown. The winds blew all the good memories with me so to never forget...
