Pyramids in Spain? Bikepacking SPAIN NORTH to SOUTH Solo - Part 2 - Castilla y Leon Region

#biketouring #europeancycling #eurovelo #viadelaplata Bikepacking, cycle touring across Spain from Santander, Cantabria in the north to Malaga, Andalusia in the south.
I emerge from under my tarp on top of a big hill just south of Vega de Pas on the CA633 (See map on vid 1). Today is about getting to the Embalse (Reservoir) and getting to the next big hill!

Thanks for clicking! This is only day 2 and what an adventure so far..... today I follow a tractor, ride over a damn and admire some stunning scenery and of course it rains just to make me feel at home!

Great video brother Mark. Beautiful scenery & those hills.... good grief 😮 xxx

Nice trip, inspiring me to do the same next year. "Rotas" would be "broken", from the verb "romper". "Rozas" has two meanings - one is the verb "rozar" meaning something like touch/brush against/graze. The other meaning (and the one relevant to place names in Spain) is land that has been cleared/cleaned up to get it ready to sow. Bienvenido a España y buen viaje!

@@roubaix3843 thanks so much! A big reason for me choosing Spain for this trip was to practice my Spanish, I'm glad I sort of got it right 😎 I'm still really bad on the verb tenses etc but people there are so nice and patient that it makes it easy to try and not worry about making mistakes. Buen camino mi amigo, saludos 🤟🏼🏕️🚴🏼‍♂️

Iron in soil appears red. Sulphur would smell nauseous and yellow/orange.

Every day is a school day, many thanks

Another great video , I hit some serious steep hills when I left Bilbao last year. I recall one being 23 percent gradient but worth the views. Took over an hour to push my bike in 32c heat.

@@ExploringHabit yep, they know how to do hills over there! Sharp and steep! Wait till i edit the last few days in the Andalusian region, the hills weren't the only thing in my way to the finish line!!! Thanks for watching 🤟🏼🚴🏼‍♂️🏕️
