The Carretera de la Cabra (the Goat´s Road, in English) is one of my favorite climbs to cycle at the Costa Tropical. And I´m not alone in that, the Vuelta a España actually came by this route as they were going up to Granada last year (2018). As it is the old road from the coast to Granada city, it …
One of the reasons we chose the Costa Tropical as our new living place after almost 9 years in Latin America was the proximity of both the Mediterranean sea and the Sierra Nevada mountains. I mean, where else in the world can you find blue seas, little rocky beaches and white villages in mountains with snow-capped tops?! And of course …
Dear all, A month after having finished my solo cycling trip that took me from la Paz (Bolivia), through San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) to Salta (Argentina) with some final days in Paraguay, I now made a video summary. Enjoy 🙂
So I left you all in Salta, Argentina, after I had cycled the last couple of kilometers of this trip. As always, I didn´t want this trip to be over just yet.

Sometimes, when the valley is very clear, we can see from our little house in Cali the mysterious mountains on the other side. These are the mountains behind the city of Palmira in the Central Mountain Chain, some 50kms away. So, last Sunday, we decided to go for it and explore this area that is called La Buitrera de Palmira, …
So this sounds more ambitious than it is, since the highest point of Denmark is actually only 170 meters, but it makes for a nice tagline right? We decided to cycle up this point while we were visiting Thomas´ dad in the municipality of Horsens, eastern Jutland. Møllehøj… The highest point of Denmark is called Møllehøj and is located in …
