3 days of riding in Southern Spain - Andalucia
One month later, I've finally gotten to uploading my photos from my Trip to Spain. My girlfriend and I stayed in Southern Spain for 1 week in March, very last minute and planned 2 weeks before arriving. The highlight of the trip - renting a bike in Fuengirola for 3 days - riding through Andalucia from Ronda, to Seville, to Cordoba, to Granada, and Malaga. The bike trip was incredible, just too much to see with not enough time! In the end, best ride I've ever had. The roads were endlessly winding, hardly any cars, and with beautiful views where the landscape was constantly changing. The people of Spain were amazing, always eager to help out us lost tourists on a bike (trying to leave some of the bigger cities, especially Seville, was a challenge). Lots of photos below, and they're just the half of it - had to limit myself. Hope you enjoy.

I've never been to Europe and always wanted to go. Hopefully I can go there this summer

Thanks for the compliments, glad you guys enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. The guys at Motomercado where we rented the bike from were just incredible. The company owner Jac (who does group bike tours through Andalucia), stopped by and met us the morning of. Him and his colleague helped plan our route on our map, gave us hostel recommendations, and went so far as to give us jackets - letting my girlfriend borrow his wife's jacket and gloves. Helmets were included. They even booked us half price tickets for Alhambra castle in Granada (where we visited on day 3) - right from the dealership computer. Incredible people and great condition bikes. I was originally looking at booking through a BMW dealership, but helmets weren't included and the price was more. Very glad I found them. Loved the Fz8... considering buying one.

First thing that came to mind when I looked down and saw those hairpins. Unfortunately the entrance was blocked off. ;)
