Comments: Lovely Bike Tour. A few issues negotiating around motorways at Seville and Gibraltar. 2 Punctures. Camping but used hostals in Sanlucar, Jerez, (with help from Carlos and Pedro) Aqua Ampara and Nerja. Wild Camping near Mazarron as didnt reach camp site. Luggage got wet trying to negotiate water filled underpass on back road to Gibraltar.
Spanish drivers very courteous and give cyclists lots of room. I understand the the 1.5m rule is enforced throughout Spain.
Weather: Beautiful weather throughout trip. Most days 20degrees +.
