Starting from home around 20th October and find some places to relax available by car. That was the plan. We started through France, Galicia (where we found some snow and nice people), direction Portugal. We went south along the beautiful coast, surfing sometimes, exploring the beautiful country. Really nice people, great wine and food, nice people.At Algarve we finally found some sun. We went to Gibraltar before we changed direction to North with stop over in Finale Ligure, testing some bikes for EMTB Magazin on the way. Finally at dec. 16th we came back home.
