Road sign said 26% but saw 30% gradient on the Garmin today. Yikes! Beautiful day on the bike all the same 
Walk in Lekeitio. Fancied lunch but no food to be seen, just bars with men sipping white wine. Odd! Nice beach tho
Today's ride: Coastal warm up before some brutal inland gradients. Full summer kit. Amazing mid-October conditions!
Windy walk home on't beach after lunch. Guess who forgot their sunnies? 
In my defence was overcast when we left 
Wondering around Vilanova i la Geltru between a couple of brief showers. Nice little town, worth a look if passing.
Today's ride: beautiful route from Spanish coast through vineyards, forests, hills & back. Springtime perfection!
Beach-side apperos/dinner. Fried anchovies for me but ordered paella for 2 in error so had to help Pratiwi. Oops!
Sunset at Blanes. Seems like every beach here has a group of small fishing boats for tourists to snap. Works well
Sunrise at Blanes. Bit too cloudy on the horizon TBH, but only here for 2 nights so best I could manage am afraid 
Passing few mins on Tossa de Mar beach as restaurant we'd like to try not open yet. Spanish lunch hours: terrible!
More beaches & beautiful little villages today. Gotta say am liking the off season here - quiet & perfect weather
Today's ride: From Spanish coast into hills & back, then coastal road dropping down to the occasional beach. Awesome!
What more beach? Off season in practically empty Calonge on a lovely sunny evening. Nice when it's not crazy busy!
From beach, inland into rolling hills & finale over Jaizkibel coastal road. Latter in particular has amazing views!
The Med! We're not really beach people, but now & then have to remind ourselves mountains were the correct choice!
Ride to Atlantic & back via some, erm, interesting 'roads'! It ain't Sydney But then again - it ain't Sydney
Today's ride: Erm... where's the mountains & what's this blue stuff? Cruising between beaches on the Medoc coast.
Oh look... a beach... and we're nowhere near the coast! 
Lovely spot by river Lot, Causses du Quercy National Park.
Stroll along Hendaye beach, with obligatory ice-cream stop. Shame about the clouds, but TBH almost nicer like that.
Morning wonder around San Sebastian. Overcast & quiet, but still lovely. Now... which of these tapas bars is open?
Arriving in San Sebastian: little walk along La Concha before we get to the serious business of the day...
Plenty of scope for CX training on today's ride By the beach & through wetland. And yes, those dots are flamingos!
Beach front at Villajoyosa. This one's sandy: note the palms Can't say it's not colourful enough & rather like it!
Evening stroll. Is cloudy but warm. No sand, but on the plus side, won't be find it in every orifice for hours!
Made it to the Med! We don't really do beach (too flat) But plus side: it's a bit warmer here! Swings/roundabouts
Walk on the beach near Facho (Portugal). Bit grey & windy, but there's still fun to be had looking for treasure!
Cathedral Beach, North Spain. Fabulous 'almost winter' morning exploring. Low tide here is a must. Well planned!
Another deserted Spanish beach. This is Playa de la Griega, our lunch (well, very late lunch) stop for the day.
The rather rocky & wind-swept beach at Vega. Only 1 sole surfer braving the elements here. Oh, & me (not Pratiwi!)
Hola España! Not a bad spot nor day for a first Spanish encounter. May they all be as sunny & picturesque as this!
Stroll along the coast around Cancale. Past local festivities. Oysters everywhere! Don't worry, we had some later
Back by the beach, this time Benoa. You know what that means? More jogging at dawn, with breaks for pictures
Sunset pre-dinner walk along Karon beach. Sorry about the tourist pics, but I did say there'd be palm trees coming
Karon beach at midday. Umbrellas far as the eye can see but still many lobsters around. Ouch! Not for us until later.
Obligatory, 'sunset on the beach', holiday snap. Sorry... I'll put some palm leaf silhouettes in the next one
Little stroll before pre-dinner drinks, Kamala beach. It's pretty small as I managed to jog end to end this morning!
Decided to skip lunch, but still time for short stroll on Pampelonne Beach. This is the Med. so 'surf' here is tiny!
On the beach near Saint-Raphaël. Got to love being on a sunny beach, yet looking over to snow capped mountains.
Oh look... it's that time of day again. Back at the beach enjoying another Mediterranean sunset...
