April 29 -- May 1 Marrakech to Carmona (Seville)

April 29



Marrakech to Carmona





We said our good-byes and headed out early to the airport. The roads at the airport were all barricaded but a passenger drop-off area had been created in a parking lot. There was alot of security outside but there were no delays. We had purchased a cheap bag in Marrakech that we could put our helmets in so we could check it as luggage.



Back in Sevilla, we opted to take the bus since a taxi was going to be about $75.

Carmona to Granada






We parked the bike while we roamed around looking for a hotel. In case you didn't notice, ours is the one with the bags attached to the paniers.





We enjoyed a drink on the roof cafe of our hotel in Granada before the sun went down.





The snow-covered Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance, overlooking Granada would peak out of the cloud cover every once in a while.





May 1 Granada to Valencia


A long travel day.....511 kilometers.



The Sierra Mountains are in the distance though you can't see them behind the clouds. We didn't go into the mountains -- just around them. Nevertheless, it got cold and we had to bundle up.





We stayed in a small beach town just South of Valencia. When we arrived, we found that the place was full of condos and apartments. We were just about to accept that we would have to go into Valencia when we saw a sign for the hostal. As we were parked along the side of the road trying to figure out where the hostal was, a couple walked by and asked us if we were looking for a place for the evening. They pointed it out to us about a block away. The couple is Migla and Martynas from Lithuania.





Even though we got in late were were able to squeeze in a walk on the beach and then wine and snacks with Migla and Martynas. What a wonderful evening.
