Day 3.
Consume more bread / cheese / meat - Tostadas are class.
Found a camping shop and got a gas canister - no 100g cans so had to carry the bigger one . Apparently rarer than hens teeth screw top canisters so feeling pretty smug.
Road climb to Trevelez - fairly mild but long few hours.
Massive bag of crisps and several beers in Trevelez.
Hundreds of hams hanging from the ceiling that I end up headering as I try to find the toilet. Stuff of nightmares that place for veggie / vegan.
The owner was a bit a of a legend and was giving me shit for my Catalunya patch.
Finally on badlands route I think.
Gravel down to Murtas - see a warning sign about bulls and get the fear. Luis is faster so I will certainly be the target. Tuck red t shirt dangling from seatpack into seatpack...
Escape the gravel to a road section - see a big reservoir - level looks low, Spain on fire this year I guess?
Murtas be dead, no shops / bar open. Spirits be low.
Murtas gravel descent was spicy, no idea how badlanders cycle up it.
Descend to Berja - too tired to care about the novelty of the plastic scene in front of me.
Ice cream restores life in Berja. Hotel booked, no regrets. Pizza and kebab chips scoffed.
No beers consumed.
Another hard day but amazing. 2 beers only, too tired to drink.
