Surprisingly the inland route seems to have been faster, while it has more climbing. Or it might just be Carlos. Anyway, he's slightly further than Omar now. They are soon at Pico del Veleta, Europe's highest road.

Some of the same roads we rode in NCT, but around where those two are now, our route went just between them, on a rather hilarious gravel track. Hope someone rides that now :D

Someone more experienced than me might shoot down this theory but the coastal route passes through a lot more towns and cities which can quickly slow down progress.
Personally I would be tempted inland as even the coastal roads wouldn't be the speediest if narrow and full of traffic.

Yeah, a lot more traffic and towns, but i would've expected it to be faster. The inland roads are very quiet and good, at least some of them, but slowish because hilly.
