It rained today and we had to drive in the rain the whole time. What a day! Our clothes hadn’t dried during the evening, so we decided to put them back on as they would get wet anyway. So we set off with wet clothes at 9:00 am. What a […]

After our rest day yesterday, we set off today at 9:00 a.m. in the direction of the fishing village of Cudillero. We take a nice relaxing drive on the country road and as it was so hot today (30-33 degrees) we don’t see anyone outside. It’s just us against the […]
A quick update from us in Gijón. Today we explored the city, recharged our batteries and went to the beach. With a temperature of 26 degrees, that sounds like a perfect plan. The old town of Gijón is very large with many hidden alleyways and a lot of bars. At […]
Today was a great day. Today’s route was my favorite so far and I’ll tell you why. We had a leisurely breakfast at around 8:30 and were ready to leave at around 9:30. But then we got chatting to another German in our hotel, so our departure was later than […]

Today, after a delicious breakfast, we set off again at 9:30 am in the direction of Santander. The weather forecast said it would be cooler and we didn’t actually have to battle the heat today. Perfect! Even before we had ridden the first 10 km, we had to climb the […]
This morning we drove from San Sebastian to Bilbao by car to start in Bilbao. After a late start, we said goodbye to Pilar and Joana at 10:30 am and set off in the direction of Noja. The first 20 km were very beautiful and we passed several beaches. The […]
Last Saturday we finally arrived in Spain after 14 hours, having started early in Germany. The bikes are also included, of course. Then came the shock: unfortunately, we couldn’t leave on Monday as planned because I got a middle ear infection and had to take antibiotics. I feel better now […]
Just two weeks ago, I was in Bali, lazing on the beach. From next Monday, I’ll be going from cocktails, snorkeling and swimming to climbing mountains and surpassing myself. We started going through our packing list this week to make sure we don’t forget anything. Today we raced to the […]
