Day 95: Cabra (Drive)

Last night I returned to the van at about 11.40pm from the bar. Fortunately I'd made the bed before leaving the van. So I was soon tucked up in bed. I woke once during the night but, soon returned to sleep only to next awake at 9.30am! hmmm, clearly I was tired. The bad news was that whilst sleeping I was mosquitoed! I now have 5 swellings, the worst being on my shoulder blade, which is tough to reach (to apply lotion rather than scratch!). I did find a mosquito relaxing after a good nights feed, so I dispatched it. Hopefully, she was a lone operator!


I eventually arrived in Cabra at about 5pm, after a drive of 112 miles. I stayed here in 2023. It is a good spot and, is close to the Via Verde Aciete, which I rode back then. I have a couple of new routes to explore that start from here.

Feeling rather tired, trying to stay awake so that I can listen to the big chief US numpty's tariff pronouncement!

  • Distance driven: 112 miles
  • Distance cycled: 0
  • Weather: cloudy, some sunshine and a few short showers! It would appear that we in Spain are, and have been during March, U.K. style weather; whilst the U.K. has been enjoying Spanish weather! So it goes! (sometimes)
