November 16, 2021,🌟 Tolle Radrunde über Agua Amarga und Carboneras

That was a bike tour to our liking. It was winding on little-traveled back roads
and with great views up and down to Agua Amarga, a small, pretty and tranquil place on the coast in the north of the Cabo de Gata National Park. We liked it so much here that we want to come with our mobile home tomorrow.
