Ridingwise the trip got everything. After 3 months pause the beginning was a bit tentative, but as the trip went on, skills improved a lot. Tracks varied from dry and hard clay to soft quicksand and created a sense of being in both rollercoaster and carrousel at the same time. Enduro turned out to be really fun, especially with high grounds and breathtaking views as in Spain. The trails were difficult, but that's the only way to learn new tricks. All this executed under the bright sunshine made the experience even more thrilling. Best parts can be seen in attachments.
We had a lot of plans and visions, of which some realized and others didn't. The original plan was not to live the whole time in the caravan, but it turned out to be a good home and was easier to warm up than local houses, so we did. We planned to spend more time on road, but it turned out that our base camp in Alhama was an excellent choice. Real caravaning with no roots was quite intensive and 3 months of that would definitely have been too much. In our pre-calculations, we were way too optimistic about the diesel consumption.. and hilariously exaggerating with food budget. However, total amount was quite realistic.
If you have a dream, something you have always wanted to do, or a passion to do something, you really should make things work and go for it. We are thankful for everyone who made this trip possible and helped us in making our dream come true. This winter was the best time of our lifes and something we'll never forget. Thanks for living it through with us!
