My picture of the day-Where's yours?

[Butchersbike]

Aaawww Casarabonela is a great climb to Puerto Martinez, quiet and almost no traffic..

This one was taken in Mijas Pueblo, one of the many spots that they have there overviewing the Mediterranean sea.. Yesterday it was under the sea of clouds.

If you ever come this way and want to know new routes without the worrying of planning let me know. If you need some advice I can help you as well.

Special prices for CC members but you pay the beer and or coffee

Note: this is what I do for a living, but for the advice I won't charge anyone.

Done the climb up to Puerto Martinez a few times then out to El Burgo or Ardales-truly stunning landscapes and dead quiet!

No idea when was the last time you were there. The road out of town to the top of Puerto Martinez was redone almost completely.

On the other side the top to the crossing of Ardales or El Burgo looks more and more like a classics circuit... It is all messed up and bikes need a tune up after riding them. We had a lot of rain latety and the roads here do not like to mix with water.

Bonela Alozaina Yunquera el Burgo bonela is a better loop...

I do like the foreshortening effect of long lenses. This is a photo of Topsham from Exmouth, 7km away. The barn near the top of the photo is the other side of Exeter, about 14km, and the faint tree on the top left skyline is about 25km, I think. Taken on a Sony HX50, about 50x zoom, handheld but resting on a fence.

Sunny chilly Malaga for you...

@Butchersbike do you recognize that switchback?

Is that dropping back into Casarabonella? From what I recall there is a food factory of some description on the right just round the corner. I think I took this from further up the mountain-wish I was there today!
