Bike touring Spain – fuelled on Tapas [Ep 9]

The penultimate episode of the cycle tour from the UK to Gibraltar. I broke my microphone which I used with my camera so there’s was a load of footage that I lost due to having no sound.

Ronda was an absolute treat to visit. As was the amount of tapas we ate.

This will be a mini-series before we set off on our upcoming cycle tour through SE Asia and beyond which we will be doing as a couple in September 2018.

For the next month I (Adam) will be cycling without Lucia from the UK to Gibraltar at the southern tip of Spain.

I’m doing this trip for a number of reasons:

I want to test myself physically before the SE Asia journey and explore parts of Europe that I’ve never been to before.

I also want to use this as a trial run with the kit and equipment whilst filming, editing and uploading videos on the road.

As well as enjoying my summer in the best way I know how, on a bike tour, meeting new people, trying new foods and watching the scenery slowly change as I pedal.
