My best friend Lars was visiting me this past week. He had been down with a
bout of pneumonia, and I have my lingering rheumatoid arthritis, but that did
not stop us from cycling up to the Puerto de la Carrasqueta, at 1020 meters
above sea level, yesterday. Five images:

6 km from the top, we stopped for a Coke break at Venta Teresa:

Venta Teresa is popular among motorcyclists, and the proprietors have set up
signs like this one:

With good reason; I had not been up there for several months, and there were
several new memorials along the road, like this one:

There is a reason why the Guardia Civil has begun to patrol more intensively on
weekend on those mountain roads.
After arriving at the top, Lars and I took the customary cheese selfies before
heading back home, 35 km, mostly downhill:
