Days 11-13: Guadalupe to Zuheros

Our apologies for the delay in updating you, but we've peddled 220 long hot miles over the past three days, arriving late into both Almaden and Montoro. We've hit a heatwave, with temperatures up to 42 degrees in the late afternoons. Combined with headwinds that at times felt like a hairdryer, the need to carry more than 10 litres of water, panniers, and steep mountain gradients we've been taken to the edge of our capabilities. But despite all this, the trip continues to be awesome and will almost certainly become unforgettable. 2 days to The Med, but a tricky day tomorrow to contend with first....
