Stage 12 - Back in Spain
Arrived April 17th?(one night in Alceidesa with John, Janina and Johanna, then mixed walk/cycle trip with Janina, EV8, Barbate, Chiclana, cycling over Sevilla to Portugal)
Coming back from Morocco felt like returning home. Algeciras seemed so familar!
Janina already arrived in South of Spain two days ago. She had a host in Alceidesa named John, who also invited us over. As there was a conflict, we decided to leave on the next day. Johanna to Portual, Janina and me along the coast without clear direction. She didn't have a bike. We first spent two days at the windy beach, then did a mixed walk/cycle trip across the mountains to Barbate. The EuroVelo 8 does not really exist in these regions.
The last night in Chiclana had torrential rain and we didn't have a host. Tent proved to be waterproof! Janina then had to go back to Germany and I wanted to continue to Portugal to meet Johanna again.

The mountains didn't stop! Well, the Camino de Santiago gave us a nice break between Leon and Burgos. We confused the pilgrims by riding it in the wrong direction 
From Verin to Vitoria-Gasteiz 540 km
