It’s always the Saturday making me feel stressed.
No problem to find an appropriate room. But not so on Saturday. Only the rooms from 200 Euros up but also only a few and often far away from my route.
I started from the hotel in La Linea de la Concepción and stopped after a few meters to put on the primaloft. It wasn’t really cold but the ponente – heavy wind from the west – made it cold.
Today my way is more or less westwards. So I had to struggle a lot because ponente is really heavy.
Because of the room stress I wasn’t focused on where to go. Different options occurred. The most crazy on: to board the ferry boat a Algeciraz to Tanger. Booking.com had many rooms there 😉
Another alternative was to use the tent. Especially I wanted to reach the Bolonia bay and wild camping there.
Also I downloaded several booking apps and deleted them after they did not work.
You see I was torn. To bring me down I started cycling and wanted to make it to Tarifa.
N340 again and one pass (Puerto del Bujeo) to climb. The 326 meters were easy to climb not more than 5 %. Only the heavy and permanent headwinds were the challenge 😉
Shortly after the pass and after dressing the primaloft for the downhill I passed a hotel stopped was ambivalent but finally I decided to ask. At this time heavy clouds occurred.
Fortunately they had a room, a garage and a restaurant.
After enjoying a swordfish it is raining. How glad I am now about my decision to take the room here 🙂
As you see the name of Paco de Lucia, he is a son of Algeciraz.
The latitude is 36°04. So, only 4 minutes to the south to reach the most south European point the Isla the Tarifa.
