Day 70: Rincón de la Victoria (Cycle)

Today I cycled up to the puerto known as Puerto del León. It is an ascent that I like to do. The only downside is cycling to its start, which is at the north-eastern outskirts of Malaga. The climb has a length of about 16 kilometres and an altitude of 900 metres.

On the way up I stopped to take this photograph of Málaga:

The descent was enjoyable, as was the ice cream at the seaside:

Then, deviating from the planned route, I enjoyable a slow, leisurely cycle along the promenade until a sign indicated that cycling further on the promenade was prohibited!

For the past three years I have wanted to get a decent photograph of the cement works located between Rincón de la Victoria and Málaga. Today, I made another attempt:

• Distance driven: 0 miles
• Distance cycled: 71 kilometres
• Weather: Mostly overcast with rain forecast for later in the day: by about 19:45 none had occurred. T about 16°C, colder at 900 metres and a chilly decent. Winds varying between calm to gentle breeze.
