Biking & Baking in Las Alpujarras

We've been in Spain for over 2 years now - plus 4 motorbikes - join us for the ride!

Antequera, Jerez...where next?
17 June 2012 @ 17:44

Last weekend we visited Antequera for a Honda Motorcycle concentracion, riding over there on the VFR in convoy with our friend Clem on his Yamaha.  It was a long, hot day but we made the most of it, enduring the loud DJ music as best we could (what did you say??), taking a tour around El Turcal (great mountain area for biking) and managing to get home again about midnight.   Then just 2 days ago we repeated part of the trip in a 7.5 ton truck, taking a friend's possessions to Jerez de la Frontera...and back again within 24 hours, to keep the hire costs down.  This actually involved 3 hours loading, 4 hours of sleep and quite a hassle when it turned out that the truck was too big for the tiny streets in the heart of Jerez!  Ofloading was easier but it's a good job we're young (???!!!) and fit! 

Where next might include Cabo de Gata, as we will be heading that way in early July for a brief meet with some of the family.  I wonder if we will pass through Andarax wine country...I might have to stow a case of Tempranillo under my helmet...should be fun.
