Got up at 9, went to get money and bread. Then a slow pack after brekkie of omelette, cheese and chorizo. I was a bit fragile this morning after those whiskies so didn’t leave until 1pm,\u00a0 after making a few calls. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I went into town for some sightseeing and met a couple of ladies from Chile who were so impressed they wanted photos of me. Got them to take one with my phone and exchanged details of SPC blog and emails.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There was a beautiful girl playing cello, My Way, Let It Be and a few more. I stayed and had a coke because her music was wonderful. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Found CF Cordoba footy ground and then headed south as I was on n432 and decided to carry on. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was a great ride and quite hot. 33\u00b0C<\/span> I think. A tough one with lots of ups and fast downs. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saw lots of birds and a fire. The traffic wasn’t too bad and it seems only the coaches and buses that are not as considerate as the lorries. A few stops along the way for refreshments; Vacar being particularly good with apple pie and Fanta limon. A big climb up to Epoji and then a fantastic run all the way to Castro del Rio. Found a great room at Bar Canijo for \u20ac<\/span>17\u00a0 with aircon and a balcony to dry my washing. A quick beer and as I was going to shower I heard music at the end of the street and had to investigate. It was the town’s band practice. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then I noticed a bike shop two doors from my room and bought a spare tyre as I’ve lost mine (boom boom) and mine are wearing thin after nearly 3000 miles! I then had dinner at bar C\u00f3rdoba who were very welcoming and translated the menu in their phone! Great stew soup and flamequin, a local dish a bit like chicken Kiev but with ham inside.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Watched Real Madrid draw 1-1 with Valliodolid and then back to bar of my room.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 A couple of whiskey and cokes with some very drunk locals and a couple of coppers who were there for Barca v Athletico , I’m starting to fit in! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Decided to have tomorrow off as I’m making good time and hope to get a massage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
