Malaga

Malaga is a somewhat large city. I took the opportunity to visit the port and to fill up food and drinks.

Estepona

A small city on the mediterranean with out of this world sea food 🙂

Algeciras

Got to the city after a hard 80km ride on a highway, gravel route and after being attacked by group of stray dogs. Probably not a good idea to arrive somewhere late at night :/

Crossing the Gibraltar strait
