The time spent in Granada was fantastic, it is a lovely town with so much to offer, two nights was definitely not enough, but we had to move on.
Getting out of Granada was a bit hectic…at the beginning the route was OK and even took us out of the city following a lovely bike path. But blissful feeling was quickly shattered when it ended and we were faced with tons of cars in a highway. It was such a mess in terms of roundabouts trying to get on the right side of the road, we felt very vulnerable at times.
If anything, this trip has showed us that we cannot simply plot the route with a a computer program. Things need to be fine-tuned or you end up in a highway crossing a bridge with no shoulder with a humongous truck next to you, which is in now way a good feeling.
The ride was exhausting…we opted out to follow the highway at the end because the paths that were plotted were steep and incredibly rocky, so the you could not enjoy the downhills and the uphills were even more difficult.
The town of Alhama of Granada is nice but very small. Not a whole lot to do but we were knackered from the trip…actually writing this in bed. Tomorrow a new day with 34 Km to go, which will be bliss compared to today.
