how to have a first
brilliant day...well first the night before, when out with (nice dude
from the melting pot, sorry man having hard time to remember your
name, he did bring us )me and 3 girl to some pub in town, so well we
did drink quite a lot... came back at 3h30 am.
9am, I was already up
to get my stuff ready for the departure, 11h30 after good time of
talking, I finally kicked myself out and when on the bike. Started by
going west following the coast, weather was nice, warm, sunny, but
got the win that got up, dam I add had time to go ahead. Did reach
valley malaga at around 3pm, 30km from malaga, took a break there and
did carry on in the mountain on the a-356. At 5 pm I was diying to
find a spot to camp, but nothing around, did climb my first big hill
3km no flat part. Add to climb on the side of the bike, im to heavy,
will trow some stuff away in the morning. Did reach the a-402, first
thing on it, a nice lake, and seem like near it was a old camp side
or under construction, made my way on it,so after 50 km, finally
found a nice spot and fall asleep once tent up.

after a night freezing,
did remove a few thing from my bike, 1or 2 kilo less. First km was
probably the best of the day, was going down hill, after, did start
ckimbing, after each turn was dam most be near the top, but no couple
corner after, saw what was up ahead. Almost cry, once on top, my km
said I add climb 15km and that all up hill no little break. Yep I did
lot of walking here.but did manage do do a few km on the bike. Did
trow some more stuff on the way.Met a holland girl on the wait
up,joan,she was on her last bike trip around granada, she told me
after the 2 large mountain that form a gate, will be flat.she was
right for a couple km, and it when on again, did finish that day with
only 28 km done, but was death, my leg was useless,found a little
forest to camp, not much water left, but a town suppose to be close
after so in the morning should be fast. Did clean myself with those
baby sheet, better then nothing, remove the worst, and got ready to
sleep like a baby, will be another cold night im sure, will be more
ready this time.
28 february
my third day, I was
expecting to do just a few km, so I can be middle way to granada, but
the road wasnt bad, flat and fast, so did go on, found some spot on
the way to fill my water a few time.on this day I discover how bad
the indication was, mist something and when on a bad road, after
maybe 2 kilo, realize it wasnt the way. Came back found the good
road. And got couple more hill here but not to bad. Did reach the
a-92, that where I found out I did mist the 338, so the a-92 it a
highway... no biking here. So add to go all around it on the a-335.
Found a nice place to camp there, but was humm its only 2 pm still
raining, cant really make a fire, and not much food left. So decide
to carry on. Got on a small road with dam construction, got the bike
and myself all dirty here. Reach pinos puente, town with nothing. A
pit further, bought me some found and saw a sign saying granada 10
km. Not bad, only 5pm. So when on. Once there need a place to
sleep.... got internet on my laptop near a big hotel, oasis bp was
full, so call anothr one that I never found the place, after couple
hours of turning in circle, I was near to die, found a place to squat
in the mountain,(was already near it, 5 minute and found the place)
so at 10pm I was putting my tent up and just died in it.so in that
day that I wanted to make at max 50-60 km. I ended up with 112 km.
Sunday, I found a backpacker, took me 5 km to found it and I aint
moving.did even book for 2 night. Dam the shower was good!!!
