Summer 2021, join me as I explore the amazing Ruta de la Plata, part of the Camino de Santiago network, from stunning Cadiz in Andalusia in the south of Spain, and heading north into the big sky and wide open spaces of Extremadura, the second of nine different regions I will explore on my travels.

    1. What a wonderful, relaxing video! I'd like to do this route. Did you have problems with dogs? Was it easy to find water? Did you need do use a filter? Was it really as empty as it looked in the video? Thank you for sharing!

    2. Looks like an awesome trip, one of your best videos so far, drone footage is pretty special. Really enjoyed the whole thing, looking forward to part 2

    3. Another wonderful impression of a wonderful journey by bike. You show us a Spain that is a beautiful country to cycle through, old castles, beautiful views. Yes, of course, now I want to go too. I think it's beautifully filmed and edited. Also the sounds you here, great. Anyway, I enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you!

    5. Another great relaxed video of paths less travelled in Spain. Awesome. I do believe that I just crossed paths with you a few weeks ago in Agen, it was a hot Easter Sunday afternoon and you would have just crossed the famous Pont Canal in Agen. Pity I was slow to react I saw you and had that Why Do I know That Guy Feeling, but we had moved passed each other when I realized that it was KvB. Well who knows another road another time. I was the old grey beard pushing an overloaded black bike with black panniers. Yes I'm from ZA an old Joburg boy. Keep rolling it keeps you young.

    6. Great video of a wonderful tour. So much of that rural countryside looks just like the Mawson Trail in the Mid-North of South Australia – rough country tracks and farm roads, the open dry pasturelands, and even that lovely swimming gorge. Great riding country.

    7. Looks like a route I would enjoy, 700km, 12 relatively short stages and a wealth of wonderful places to see. Was it easy to navigate? I read there are green and yellow arrows to point the way for the old Roman road and others. Navigation on a previous long duration bike tour was not my forte and if I like somewhere I stay for a while rather than keeping to tight schedule. Did you ever get lost along the way?

    8. Great video! The off road gravel sections on the Plata are stunning! Are these filmed on the Camino for trekkers or did you follow a specific gravel/mtb itinerary? Mark

    9. Great Video! Myself and my partner are setting off from Santander for a month cycling but we don't know where in Spain yet. This route looks great! Were there many campsites along the way? We want to camp most nights. Thanks!
