We go back to Bar La Cruz for breakfast and then hit the road to El Almendro. We decided to split up the last 70 kilometres in two days. There is only one straight road to follow and it’s quite monotonous. That doesn’t stop VA from collecting many things on the road though: skulls, cans, CD’s etc. The Brompton is really tested on the weight it can carry these days. We stop in Puebla de San Guzman for lunch where there is a lot of fun about the bikes we use. The owner of the tavern knows Isla Cristina very well. He is the first person who actually can picture where we are going (even we don’t know). He tells us how he works 360 days per year and for 5 days he goes on holiday to the Barcelo hotel in Isla Cristina. Sounds promising!

When we continue our trip to Almendro VA and Nicolas stop at one of the windmills. It’s the first time we bike so close to them, so it’s wor wild having a closer look to the enormous giants that were so present in our Spanish fold landscape.

Pacôme continues the road a bit faster and discovers a Hockney lie swimming pool at the beginning of the end point. A Sam is quite welcome with this temperature of 35 degrees. Almendro is a village next to Villanueva De Los Castillejos. It’s quite absurd to have here to villages so close since all Andalucia places on the fold were approximately 20km apart from each other. The two villages almost form one big one, but there are two churches, two municipalities, two post offices, etc. While the others are swimming VA explores the environment. Apart from the view on the many windmills there are also two old mills on the hill. The surrounding landscape is very industrial and in no way to be compared with Portugal.

Our last evening on the road we treat ourselves with a good dinner (consisting of over 10 different tapas in Restaurent El Jarra (if only Theun and Juliane were here for this inside joke). After VA treats the group for a night in this fake windmill complex with view in the real ones.
