A few 'quiet' days to repair the bike

It was a good choice to change my plan and return from the mountains of Hornos. Yesterday was a beautifol biking day and I arrived in Cazorla, an interesting village with a beautiful camping site. The problems with my bike appear to be the freewheel, sometimes it thos not block and sometimes it blocks the oppisite direction. So i had to go to the reapair shop 60 km away, by bus. Because of a communication problem I have to make the trip twice. In between I have to stay in Cazorla for a few days (during the weekend). Hopefully I will be able to go on on tuesday. It will take a few days to go to Granada.
Because of these technical problems I had to change my plan again and I will head for Malaga first and after that to Almeria.
My conclusion about the mountains near Hornos appeared to be correct, they are very very steep. Much steeper than the steepest hills in my route description to Cazorla, which have got the qualification: 'very steep'. This was peanuts compared to Hornos. So I do not need to be ashamed.
