100 km..! First time in Spain! La primera en España..!

The title kind of gives it away. Right? El titulo lo dice todo.. No?

My first metric century in Spain..!! Mi primer vuelta de 100 km en España..! How was it? Como estuvo? What about I tell you this with some images? Que tal si te lo cuento con imagenes?

It was a cloudy start... Un poquito nublado al empezar..

That made for some cool riding at the start.. Esto ayudo a tener una agradable temperatura para andar

The views? Las vistas? Amazing..! Maravillosas..!

You have more then one kind of riding... Mas de una opcion a la hora de montar..

And the ups and downs are better with company.. Y las subidas y bajadas son mejores en compañia

We shared the route with everyone..Compartimos la carretera con todos..!

A classic view of an Andaluz town..Una vista clasica de un pueblo Andaluz..

An always welcome reminder.. Un bienvenido signo para recordar..

Heading up again.. De vuelta para arriba

Flowers? Flores?

The swamps? Los pantanos..

Had to stop and get a pic here.. Tuve que parar a sacar una foto aquí

One of my faves from the day? Una de mis favoritas del día?

Quiet roads for the win..! Rutas tranquilas para disfrutar..!

A lake? Un lago?

I had the chance to go and take a closer look.. Tuve la oportunidad de mirar de mas cerca..

Local residents... Algunos habitantes del area..

Even fixing a flat looks nice here.. Hasta arreglar una pinchadura parece lindo..!

\
It wasn't a lake..! No era un lago..!

The dam..La represa.. The mountains..Las montañas..

I am inlove with the water color..! Estoy enamorado del color del agua..!

History time! Tiempo de histroia..! That is the chair the king used to when the dam was open over 100 years ago.. Esa es la silla que el Rey uso hace mas de 100 años cuando se inaguro la represa..

Tunnels? Tuneles..?

Into the light..Hacia la luz..

The chase was on..! La persecucion habia comenzado..!

And at the top of the last climb I am been chased by a Colombian..!I am doomed..! Y en la cima de la ultima subida me persigue un Colombiano..! Estoy listo..!

And +Strava said we did... Strava dice que hicimos... THIS/ESTO

Hope you enjoy the adventure and images.. Espero hayas disfrutado la aventura y las imagenes

Don't forget to share it.. No te olvides de compartirla..

See you next time... Nos vemos a la proxima..

Who is Pablo Alves?

This is how a friend described me: " We need to warn them about this big guy with legs like tree trunks and a heart the size of an ox. He doesn’t know how to eat on long rides, but that doesn’t slow him down; he hasn’t worked out that you shouldn’t spend all of your time hammering on the front; he has no idea of rest days and is the kind of guy that follows up his first century ride with another one, the very next day! He seems so soft and gentle, but put him on the front and he will turn your legs to jelly and inflict pain and suffering, all while wearing a smile. Oh and in the middle of an epic ride, while you lay in a crumpled. cramp-riddled heap on the side of the road he will ask, quite innocently, why you don’t just straighten your legs out and start riding."
