Day 73: Orgiva (Cycling)

Yesterday I said I was looking forward to tomorrow's ride. Well, tomorrow, as expected, arrived on time and, the ride did not disappoint.

The route was good; as was the weather and scenery. On excellent outing. The road from Orgiva to Trevelez was a little busier than I expected and seemed to be a popular route for coaches packed with sightseers visiting the pueblos. In particular; Soportujar, Pampaneira, Bubion and Trevelez appear to be some of the favourite honey pots.

A photo showing signs of Portugos and "not Portugos":

I do know that Trevelez is famous for its air-cured ham and, at an altitude of 1,476m, it is not the highest village in Spain, as many would have you believe. That honour goes to Valdelinares, Terul, at 1,695m.

I shall pass through Bubion tomorrow; many a sign in the region points the way to this Pueblo, so I'm expecting it to be the queen of honey pots.
