Via Verde cidacos & hot springs

After a good nights sleep we were awake at 8am which was a good thing because at 9am the bread van turned up honking his horn like it was some kind of emergency.
We brought a fresh Chapata and a warm croissant.
At 10am I got on my bike and headed down the hill and back towards the hot springs where the via verde cidacos starts by running through a huge tunnel. I had really been looking forward to this route thinking that once I was through the next town which is just 3km away I’d be out in no man’s land but this wasn’t the case.
The route was 35km long and I ended up passing through 4 small towns before ending up in the city of Calahorra. Then I turned around and made the uphill journey at 2% all the way back to Wanda including the very steep 15% hill up to our aire.
I got back at 2pm having done 70km and Ellie had been for a walk also on the via verde but went to the viewpoint to see the vultures.
We spent the rest of the afternoon back at Wanda sitting on the bench cuddling the cats and talking to our Swedish neighbours. Then after dinner we headed back down to the hot springs in the dark for another dip in the hot springs but it was heaving. This is obviously the time people come with their bottles of wine because it was definitely a party atmosphere and not very relaxing.
We were back in Wanda at 8pm and luckily I had made the bed before we left so we spent the next hour watching TV in bed.Read more
