Some news very fast in Portugal where we have been a few days already.
We were warned that Spain would have made it very hot but leaves it to be was worth a try. We spent in Barcelona and Valencia seaside without problem, but when it came back a little inland to join Madrid, the capital, in the center of the country, it was another story, a Cagniard crazy. No shade, few trees present are orange and olive trees (but only in fields), little wind and cycling in almost 40 degrees over 400 kms with only warm water to drink would have been suicide. The -10 ° C this winter were a breeze to side. We nevertheless attempted the shot, but after a few kms Valencia, we have abandoned. We had two solutions: either continue south on the beach in order to cool off at will, directly or take the train to Madrid. Being even hotter in Seville, we opted for the air-conditioned train ... Same for the second half of the country, but there we took the bus to Portugal and Lisbon, the capital, where we find already warmer temperatures through the air from the Atlantic. A small surprise visit of HervĂ© and Amanda to celebrate my 25 years and visit this nice city.
We continue our journey, this time by bike along the Atlantic towards Porto and Cape Finisterre in Galicia Spain.
