Thanks Enginerelight, appreciate that.
Hi Dave.
The first is an idea for a route towards Denia from Potes. It ends in Sigüenza. Sigüenza is a very nice, safe, good little town with plenty to explore once you get there and stretch your legs for. Apart form a very nice Parador in an old Castle.

When I stayed there it was €80. Where in the UK can you stay in a 12th century castle (foundations dating back to the 5th) for €80?? Doable in 5 hours (riding, 6:30 with stops).
Although I have not done that exact route in it's totality I have done parts of it and can confidently say that it will be relatively traffic free and far more entertaining than the equivalent ride on a motorway via Madrid. That N234 towards Soria is a far superior route to the A1 for biking. I even take that road all the way from Asturias by car sometimes, it's part of the historical El Cid route. I usually head east from Soria but you will head south from there.
Here it is:
Standby...... just looked closely and too much motorway...... being edited.....done

Part 2 to come......
Sorry I can't help with any routes but we stay in Calpe most years and love the winding coast road, make shure you stop in Grizzlys, it gets a few bikers in there and the beer and food is good
Then it must have changed drastically since June and yes it was previously known as the "German bar"....Found the staff to be really helpful and the food delicious.....just been in grizzlys what a dissapointment,used to be the german bar i believe ? staff seen to be devoid of any personality or customer service and the food was at best average,of course just my opinion
Your first name isn't "Always" by any chance is itbest paces to eat i reckon is the olive tree on the coast road from moraira to calpe and bistro selene in jalon/xalo, try em next time your out that way and tell me im right!
