Spain

No kayaking this spring, but instead we took the mountain bikes on the train down to Analucia in southern Spain, using our specially invented wheeled bike bags.  As the compacted bikes were within 120 x 90 x 40 cm, they could come with us as handluggage on the TGV for free. (But on Eurostar the size limit is smaller, so slightly tediously, we had to pay extra and check them in separately for the London-Paris bit)

We had a wonderful month cycling from Cordoba to Grenada, then mountain biking in the national parks of Sierra Nevada, Capo de Gata and Cazorla













There are some excellent free online resources available on these weblinks:
