Border Castles Tour – Photo Gallery

 

June BC 09
Sunshine, no traffic and lots of flowers – heading south through the Alentejo countryside

I’ve just been sent a whole load of pictures from one of the riders on the Border Castles Tour we ran in April. (Next one is in October.)

Previous posts have talked about this tour so I won’t write much. Instead I’ve picked out some of my favourite pictures. Thanks for sharing them, Bruce!

  1. Looking forward to this in Autumn! I live in Mérida, Extremadura so this is easily accessible for me. Extremadura, btw, is another great place to go cycling if you know the back routes!
