VIA verde de la sierra

Via Verdes are old railway lines that have been turned into bicycle and walking paths. We did this ‘de la Sierra’ one on our bike this afternoon. The first 36,5 km were mostly downhill, so guess how the way back was like. But it was definitely nice and also kind of weird to bike through some tunnels.

The fun part of this route is that everything was ready built, including stations. But the rails were never laid and no train has ever passed.

Leonie’s Polarsteps

Leonie is also keeping track of our journey south. You do need an account and her permission to follow her private trip with lots of photos. You might notice that some of the pictures look like the ones I use on this website. I think she doesn’t do it on purpose …. 🤔

Freedom

Yiehaaa, we left the catacombs of hell. Just after an half hour driving it already felt like heaven. I still can’t believe we stayed 4 days at a suncoast camping. How come we don’t like lots of interesting people, a busy motorway in front, loud music from the beachclubs and dogshit everywhere? Has it something to do with age?

Back to heaven. The A397 is the stairway to Ronda. We found a quiet nice little campsite within walking distance of the beautiful, old, busy and very touristy centre of Ronda. Of course we had to walk the long way to the city. But was certainly worth it.
