xxx Vlag xxx Cycling from to Deifontes to Iznalloz

On the very best tarmac ever to the worst spanish town ever ...

2025-07-13

In Deifontes I started cycling on a backroad, but had not seen that it crosses the Rio Cubilla somewhere. And that tarmac RamP was extremely steep and slippery ... Over the years slipping cartyres had "polished" the concrete and I only just managed to push those 3 meters up there.

After that situation I was on a perfect and very quiet road again.

However, I felt I had no energy what so ever, and when I saw a shadowed spot along the road I immediately stopped to have a break. Of some 30mins, after less then 30mins of cycling haha.

And some 30min after that I stopped once more to have a rest haha. I saw a nice, big tree, far away from the mainroad, and instantly cycled over to there. I then was surprised by a small rivercrossing and walked overthere to have a look.

And if there is water there are insects, and so there are dragonflies.

Just a few minutes later this bird of prey showed me how beautiful it is. It is the first one I see in over 2 years or so ...

And a train passed by, they have quite an intensive schedule here. It is singletrack only here so they pass each other at the railwaystations.

I continued and then Iznalloz showed up. I tried to cycle up the mainroad, but only managed some 50mts. It is steep, steeper and Steepest !

So I started to explore the area next to the town where there are oliveyards. That was also not succesfull since there simply is no space available (anymore ...). But the worst aspect is : It Is Completely Full With Garbage Here !!! So I returned even further and there I did find a nice place to wildcamp. It was even "a room with a View !" But it would be a very long walk Up into town, probably some 30mins ...

I cycled only 12kms with only 95vms today which is probably an all-time low haha.

Iznalloz is the most bad town I ever was in (in Europa ...), and it is extremely steep there. I was very worried how to ever get uphill here since there is no alternative. Except for returning All the way Back to i.e. Granada ... Euuhhh .... Besides that the small river next to my tentspot turned out to be an open sewer ! And so the mosquitos where also there ! Bad, bader, badest ...

So Now I Had A Problem ...
