A castle and some fairly typical Spanish scenery - dry, yellow fields and a clear blue sky. The stalks are all sunflower planted that have been harvested. In the heat they smell like warm corn - makes you hungry!
A mountain lake in the Sierra de Ronda. Yesterday afternoon. Had to ride over those this morning.

A national park in Northern Spain. The trees were all pine and it was so hot that it smelt like a sauna as well as feeling like one! Stunning scenery and long, long climbs.



Welcome to my place... a night in the Pyrenees. Should have moved that Sainsbury's bag! This is at 1300m on the col du Portalet - the last one into Spain. Did Col d'Aubisque earlier in the day.

At a party in Andalucia...
Went expecting to to ask a farmer if I could camp for the night in his field. Instead, I found this lot who were having a party! Lots of food and Sangria - spot on!

It's hot here isn't it? 40C+ heat in Spain. Note the cricket players lipstick and the beard is coming along well isn't it?!

A fantasic gorge in Northern Spain. Scenery there was fantastic.

Teacake top in the Pyrenees. Got lots of 'hey, le tour de France!' and 'Richard Veronque!' wearing that.
