Strangely, your suggestion about later routing to Serpa, Mouro, etc appeared as an email notification but does not show up on the linked page. Anyway, yes, we definitely plan on rolling in your tire treads wherever we can. Steve already has it on his to do list to download your routes to any places we are also going to. Thanks for putting in the ride with GPS maps/tracks and also many thanks for giving us these specific heads ups.
1 year agoBingo!
1 year agoThat is the main reason for us to wear yellow clothing, visibility. On the road and by each other in a crowd.
1 year agoThey are waiting for you, Steve and Dodie! Aboard you go!
1 year agoYou can’t NOT see Dodie..She is the only person nor wearing black and white!
1 year agoIceplant and Shasta daisies..What do you say, Bill S?
1 year agoDamn. Meant to type Mertola in last reply.
1 year agoAgreed. I will just eat a spineless variety every now and then from Kroger.
Spiny ones will just be for starvation emergency rations. I have had too many glochids in various places due to eating them. Tasted good, but not THAT good!
Oh good, we overnight in Alcoutim tonight and Mertols tomorrow, which should give us time to explore each one, a little bit anyway.
1 year agoToo risky. Last time Steve tried to get one Dodie spent 2 days removing small prickly bits from his fingers. She says no trying unless we have proper gloves, protective equipment, etc. Which we do not.
1 year agoThose days are long gone! If we ever do this again we’d overnight in Alcoutim, a very pretty spot.
1 year agoLooks ripe! Avoid spines and glochids though. Yummy if you avoid the hazards! Very seedy though.
Commercial varieties are less spiny
Thanks! We downloaded and will follow your track. Google is peddling some kind of dotted green lines - we don't trust 'em.
p.s. Amazing you went to Mertola in one day!
We’ve ridden this route ten years ago, and thought it was beautiful the whole way: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/iberia2013/mertola/
Just stay on the main paved road (M507) to Alcoutim, and on N122/IC 27 after M507 joins it a few miles later. Ignore whatever Google suggests and stick to the pavement, is my recommendation.
What a treat to follow you through Cordoba's narrow pretty streets and see it all again. Thanks for the tour.
