We are in Medina de Rioseco

Medina de Rioseco is an amazing and historic old town. The river is far from dry however, must be some sort of myth. The town is known for its old smuggling routes, and the locals look as though smuggling might still be a large source of their income. Ever so friendly and approachable though.

The trail from Peñaflor to Medina went like a dream and I just devoured a slice of fresh tortilla. It is coming up to lunchtime and we decided to hang here and eat. We cycled an aggregate 45 Km already and have another 25 to go to our B&B. We double checked, it is indeed a B&B and not a truck-stop. We hope to be able to have some laundry done and get our well deserved rest.

The bicycle/electronics shop in Medina was well stocked with inner tubes, we bought six of them just so we don't taunt faith too much. Sure enough we will need a few before the much desired finish line.

Now for lunch, let's see if they can serve us something semi healthy. Spaghetti as a first course and Bacalau as a main sound fair enough to me.

Hasta la próxima

  1. Dat klinkt goed vandaag. Kennelijk goed gerecupereerd in de truck-stop! Anyway, keep on going. Dat voorraadje aan binnenbanden moet een goed gevoel geven.
    Laturrrrr! pap
