We had bad weather in Seville, river boat trip was like a poor foggy day on the Tyne!
At an appointment today the nurse had a picture of the gorge and parador as a wallpaper. Spooky coincidence

Cyclo touristas walking up a small incline...I thought you said it was flat. Or was that post 2 Estrellas?!
Day 5.
After a chaotic breakfast in the hotel at Estepa, Ross, Tim and myself rolled out to the smell of roasting chocolate beans, as the towns main industry seemed to be chocolate, and of course olives.
Once again we cycled through miles of olive groves but climbing mainly for the first 12 miles before a most fabulous long and super speedy descent into the town of Sierra de Yeguas for a short break for coffee. Rolling ever onwards in warming temperatures and into a cheeky headwind, we got to Campillos, a town we had stayed in on a previous cycling tour. A couple of beers and a fab chicken bocadillo helped fuel the second part of the ride, the mainly flat and straight roads on to the very pretty town of Antiquera where we have stopped for the night.
So, 41.5 miles for the day
A mainly flat 2500ft of climbing.
And that super, speedy descent? 45.7mph.
Tomorrow we are Málaga bound and back to where we started.
Super, speedy down to that road
