We've headed out to what is known as "the best cycleway in Spain" at Olvera. The weather however has other ideas and it's very windy with quite dark clouds around. The cycleway has been constructed on the old trainline so we are assuming it will be flat and we have our batteries for our bikes incase it's not.
As we drive along we see a town and castle perched up on a very steep hillside and are both secretly hoping that it's not the place we are making for. A few miles on and, yes it's our destination and it becomes obvious that the old station is through the town and down a steep hill on the other side. As we approach..... there are also roadworks, which means we have to negotiate an even narrower steep road until at last we arrive. Are we surprised we are the only ones here?
However as you can see from the photo's the area is certainly picturesque and even with the wind and clouds we decided to give it a go only to find that we were at the highest point on the track....... very beautiful anyway and even the lights in the tunnels came on as we approached.
We are here for the night and by late afternoon two more vans have arrived, not so lonely after all tonight.
Nice views. Those saddles look a bit too comfortable!
