点评:I was looking for an experience somewhere in Europe where I could cycle from hotel to hotel each day, with just the right balance: enough of a challenge to keep me occupied on a solo trip and to to feel like an achievement, whilst also having enough time to go as slow or as fast as I wanted, to enjoy the scenery and have enough time to relax as well. I did the 'Take The High Road Tour', a circular route that Wayne and Heather adapted slightly so that I could cycle over 5 days instead of 6. I absolutely loved the experience. No two days were the same, the scenery was beautiful and the distances and challenge were perfect for me - I especially loved the big 20km climb on day 4, with stunning mountain views from the Puerto de Las Palomas peak. There were absolutely no hitches with the logistics - I would leave my luggage at reception of my hotel by 10am and it would be at my next hotel when I arrived after my ride. The hotels were all more than adequate, with the accommodation at Montellano and Zahara de la Sierra being my favourites, with lovely swimming pools - great after a day's cycling. (I also loved the 12pm late check-out in all the hotels). It's quite a good value region to eat and drink in, so a great area to stop for cheap lunches mid-ride and to enjoy an evening meal too. As well as selecting good accommodation, Wayne and Heather also provided advice on where to stop for lunch and breaks - and I really enjoyed stopping in many of the pretty pueblos blancos towns in the area. The bike they provided me with was a decent hybrid bike, well-chosen for the mixture of off-road, gravel paths and roads - with a good range of low gears to help get me up the mountain. Although I don't consider myself a mega-serious cyclist, I am very fit and I think this tour offers quite a challenge. I've written quite a long review, but I had such a fantastic time that I couldn't really sum it up in just a few words. I really will never forget it.
