I couldn't be happier, day 1 is great so far,reached my first sleep spot near Arcos de la Frontera...I say near, because I arrived at Arcos and begun looking for a supermarket(Preferably Mercadona)yo But some veggies for dinner and water, because I drank all my water on the way(temp reaches at least 30°C in sun at 11) so I found one thanks to Google maps and the fact that roaming prices now don't exist, internet&calls cost the same everywhere,bought everything, and then wrote in my GPS my sleeping spot...it turned out to be 11km away, and it's all fine to do some extra distance unless you have a full bag of groceries that you can't pack anywhere,nor hang on the front...temp rising to 36°C and I am standing in full sun trying to attach a bag with 4l of drinks, and almost a kg of veggies to my already big backwheel bags....using my teeth and a lot of anger I finally managed to do it, needless to say I had to stop a trillion times to move it back to the way it was.
I finally arrived at the caravan parking area I choose for sleeping, and there's no shade, except under the gas station's roof,so I sat for a while, updated IG, and finally went to the bathroom....that was such a relief!!! So the place is essentially in the middle of nowhere, which is cool coz the views are wild, it's empty, barely a single car passes every hour, and only one woman working in the gas station,mini marker and the bar....Initially I thought she would try to get rid of me, but insted she invited me inside the bar and said I don't need to order anything, but the sun is killing and I'm not from here.
So now I'm sitting inside with AC on(it's still warm af)charging my phone and listening to Andalusian speaking about their families...(the few people who stop at the station...STAY AT THE STATION, for at least an hour)
I had really low battery today, to begin with, so I didnt take many pictures;

This is the road my navigation decided to guide me through...I was pissed, had to lift my bag all along this part,because it a racing bike, but with all the bags filled with my stuff, it was a slow and painfully process
