When we made it to the bay, we stopped and I had a coke and an espresso. Bike food - yeah! And C posed with the Med behind her
We get pat Valdemossa and pile into theme vans - I meet a cycling God - Russ - the mechanic, who is also a metallurgist and materials specialist - oh boy! Engineering Talk!
I won't bore you but - 47 miles, 5440 feet climbed. Makes dinner seem almost imperative - but I will leave that too Chieko's food blog.
We ride 20 more K and DASH thru Valdemossa, which has more tourists than Disneyland and fewer parking spaces. Theme guides said, "don't even slow down!"
Rode on to a place called Bunyola where vans awaited. 20 min home to Selva
17 km (10 mi) descent - great roads. Even in Spain they do infrastructure
Riding thru the mountains- about to descend to the sea!
The first ride is thru Valdemossa, and the entire north coast of the island is a World Heritage site. In the photo we have finished the first climb and are seeing the Mediterranean, and are also looking down upon the second deepest canyon in Europe. That's why the wall. Valdemossa is still a long ways off.
