What Level Rider Am I?

[Eden]

Spain is great. My husband and I did a self planned and supported tour there in 2004. We did a big loop Sevilla - Palma del Rio - Cordoba - Zuheros - Alcala La Reale - Granada - Antequerra - Osuna - Carmona - Sevilla. We were there for about two weeks and rode most of them. We did one train transfer because we lost a day's riding (husband strained his back...). In the east it was flat, but very windy. West getting near Cordoba it was much more hilly, though our one day (out of Zuheros) was nearly 20 miles all down hill. We went on to the next town from where we thought we'd stay when it took less than 2 hours to get to the place we'd planned on.

The food is terrific, the wine superb (oh and if you sit at a table in a restaurant you can't just get a glass.... you've got to buy the bottle....) Vegetarians and people who eat Kosher beware though - almost *everything* made in the Andalucia region contains ham of some sort. You'll get sick of gazpacho sooner or later.
