DangerRuss58 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Last October I was in a similar position to what I'm in now in regards that I couldn't go out on the bike, for nearly 4 weeks road repairs had shut both the roads that led away from my garage. One Sunday I was so fed up I got up early and moved one the barriers out of the way and went for a near 500 mile ride out to a place here in Spain called Consuegra and back. Consuegra is famous for being the home of the famous windmills from the Don Quixote story by Cervantes. It was long old run for a day out but worth it, the weather was brilliant and being a Sunday not too much on the road and the views when I got there were stunning. If any of you get out that way its worth a stop. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be great to ride there Absolutely Bruce! The WOW factor has long gone for me though because I've been here so long......it just becomes the norm!

Pedro Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 In that regard, Pete's area of Spain is a lot more empty and vast than Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerRuss58 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 I live around half way between Valencia and Alicante and to be honest if you keep off the main roads you are hard pushed to any other road users, after my little off in March we didn't see another human in over 3 hours, the main roads are not that bad either , some great motorcycling roads around here.

You are probably aware the main brothel around there (in Javea I think) is called Don Quixote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
