April 30, 2023,Cáceres to Mérida por Camino

This was a nice ride, Camino, plenty of downhill but not steep so speed were good. Some quiet roads, very pleasant around by the embalse Proserpina where the Méridianos were enjoying their Sunday. Passed about 80 peregrinos y 6 bicigrinos (probably missed 20% so say 100 / 10 on this section today)

October 2, 2024,E35 / Cáceres - Mérida

Today we took another shorter route to the old Roman city of Mérida.

It was pleasantly cloudy and not as hot as the last few days. Pleasant climbs and a little headwind.
