Day 50: Playas de Vera (Cycle)

A big drop in the wind speeds today. So cycling I went.

I chose to cycle a variation of a route I rode last year. The reason being: I really enjoyed the climb to the masts/antennas atop the Cerro del Cucharon.

It didn't disappoint second time round. You may recall that last year I was concerned I may find myself accused of trespassing, which was brought about when I effectively ignored this sign:

When I took a closer look this time around I noticed none of the many symbols indicated cycling was prohibited, walking yes, but not cycling! So clearly, to avoid unnecessary worry, I should pay closer attention to the signs when I encounter them!

Here's a view from about halfway up the climb:

And, two of the many masts at the summit:

On my return I passed through Pulpi:

• Distance driven: 0 miles
• Distance cycled: 76 kilometres
• Weather: Sunny start, clouding over by midday. Wind speeds very much reduced. However, it was exceptionally windy last night, wind noise and buffeting kept me awake for quite some time. Today's T reachead about 19°C and it was about 13°C at the masts.

Today's route:
