Day 5-7 I rode to Gibraltar for a little English influence then on to Almeria another surprisingly quaint town that was hard to leave. Vamos el Sur de Espana!
Moto Day 5 - Sevilla to La Linea/Gibraltar (250 km) On a brand new back tire I took the short 1hr ride to Cadiz to warm the tire up and have a snoop around this highly talked about peninsula city. C4R7T6V5 Road opened up after getting out of Sevilla.

Just passed Algeciras you start
to see the Rock... |
Riding in to La Linea looking at the Rock of Gibraltar. Parked the moto near the hotel, lunched and napped then walked over the border in to the UK for a look around Gibraltar.
FYI: La Linea is 80% cheaper to stay than Gibraltar.
