Bluebonnet

 We arrived in Cuidat Real this evening around 7pm. It was a long day with about 165km and again above 2000 altitude meters. Clearly we need to reduce the hours we sit on the bikes.

Alois started with us for the first 35km and returned after to pick up Frank. He is doing very great and contributes always special photos.

Stefan and I had the feeling to be on our MS150 tour from Houston to Austin today. Nice roads with soft up and down, straight 10 km long streets like in Texas or California - including fields of fantastic looking  bluebonnets right and left ( color is close but the flower is different...).

We took a Hotel tonight as we needed a very long shower!

Downtown was not impressive but food was good.

See you tomorrow!

    Buenas tardes Señores. Soy Alfoso Terrones ( padre de Marta ) .Quería desearos un feliz viaje por España y el resto de la ruta. Espero que disfrutéisucho en mi país, como yo estoy disfrutando del vuestro.
    He visto que tenéis problemas con las dimensiones de la autocaravana, para entrar en algunas poblaciones. No dejéis de entrar, por eso, visitarlas a pie o en bici, ya que hay algunos pueblos que son auténticas maravillas.
    Yo pertenezco a un grupo de amigos que hacemos bici de campo. Pero a otro nivel. He realizado algunas rutaslar largas y con aspiraciones de hacer algo ( no tan largo como vosotros pero largas)
    Si tenéis algún problema técnico, con las bicis, me avisáis, uno de mis amigos es propietario de una tienda de bicis y tiene contactos por todo España.
    Igualmente, si tenéis algún problema con el idioma, acordaros que Marta, puede serviros de intérprete.
    Prometo prepararme bien, para poder salir algún día con vosotros por Alemania.
    Cuidaros mucho y feliz ruta

    Hola Alfonso,
    Muchas gracias por la buena recomendación - autocaravana grande y la buena oferta para reparar nuestras bicicletas.
    Tu país España es precioso y para mi sorpresa muy verde..
    Los conductores de automóviles y camiones son muy amables y considerados con los ciclistas. Vaya... otros países pueden aprender mucho.
    Todavía nos quedan unos 270 km en España. Gente agradable, hermosos paisajes, buena comida y vino aún mejor.
    ¡Un gran país!
    Un poco de frío... hoy solo tuvimos entre 6 y 10 grados.

  This cycle path bollard finished our Gibraltar-Nordkap tour after 18 days and 2534km (47%) and 19,519 Altitude Meter (53%). Klaus touched this bollard with his handlebar and fell down to the street. I followed him closely and tried to avoid hitting him. The street curb finished my trial and touchdown was unavoidable. I hit the street with my helmet and right Clavicular (Schlüsselbein..). I can tell that Klaus and my helmet were broken, but our heads were both ok. Think about wearing your helmet always you ride a bike. It can save your life!! Medicus Klaus came pretty fast to the conclusion that my Clavicular was broken.  End of this story:  Ambulance came, brought me and Klaus to the Hospital (300m away) - after 3 hours we left the Hospital because no doctor was coming, drove to Edewecht and our house where Beate was waiting (now around midnight), took shower and went to bed. This morning Klaus and I went to the Hospital in Westerstede and we saw the doctor after 30 minutes. I need s

 It is already midnight and everybody else already went to sleep. Was a great day driving through Spain, crossing Barcelona, Valencia, Murcia, Granada and Malaga. We expirienced a great nature with never ending pistachio trees and yellow broom (Ginster). Alois used his ADAC knowledge and selected an excellent Camping Site close to Malaga and the Mediterranien Sea. Parking of an American size Campingcar on a spanish camping slot is a challenge without destroying the whole infrastructures like lanternes... Evening dinner was great, followed by a shower and last usage of Franks hydraulic to level out the car - fantastic feature!! We look forward for driving to the english landmark called Gibraltar.  See you tomorrow.
