Arriving at Chequilla

Highlight • Natural Monument

This setting couldn't be more spectacular, containing a series of stone figures capriciously created by nature over hundreds of thousands of years. Erosion has exposed the hardest parts of the rocks, which remain as silent witnesses to the passage of time and serve as an attraction for tourists who come to marvel at these strange formations.

Mellow gravel climb through the woodlands to start the day, long sections on incredibly quiet roads followed by high plateau gravel in the open.

The long white gravel paths take us through fields of cows and horses. The rain decides to show itself, just enough time to refresh us a little and make …

Second day, Bronchales => Checa

Rolling, but the weather didn't make the day any easier. Waking up wet, snow, hail, wind... But it's magnificent!

Hotel in Checa to dry it all out and freshen up!

Not many photos on the phone because I'm wearing my case.
