A post above has already mentioned the Museo Jamon in the town of Monesterio on the VDLP. It´s worth a visit explaining the background to the famous Iberico pig. Perhaps more importantly the cafes in the town served the best Toastada de Jamon I have ever had.
I useful tip I got from this forum a few years ago was to shave using a blob of hair conditioner and no need to take a bulky can of shaving foam. Now I carry a tiny plastic bottle with me. Weighs next to nothing and works a treat.
Oh that’s a bit disappointing. I’m sending my bike to Sevilla next month using Correos so I’ll take plenty of before and after fotos and post an update. Other options of train or coach all seemed a bit hit and miss and open to their discretion so I’m really hoping Correos ‘deliver’.
How was your bike packed, was it in Correos’s paq bici ? A strong cardboard box. I’m planning on using them next month. They say on their website bikes are insured for damage.
