May 7, 2025,🇪🇸 Fahrradtour nach Nerja mit Merceille

After a crazy day at work, we grabbed our bikes and let off some steam with some exercise. It was just what we needed. The result was an impromptu tour without a plan, simply through Nerja, through the plantations along the Rio Seco II, and back to the beach. We discovered completely new corners of the town of Nerja.
