We decided to make a weekend getaway out of this, and spent 2 nights at a nice hotel right next to the golf course (our balcony was facing the green on the 18th hole). I was the driver and trailing spouse, but thanks to having a decent-sized car, we were able to bring my bike with us in addition to my wife's golf stuff and other baggage, and I went for rides both Saturday and yesterday. Yesterday's ride was going to be a relatively short 27 km affair, getting out at 7 a.m. But when I was planning the route, Google neglected to tell me that a section of about 4 km on my planned route was unpaved and completely unsuitable for my road bike with skinny tires. So the ride turned out about 12 km longer than planned since I had to take a longish detour. But there was a nice side effect. I passed this sunflower field in lovely morning light: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-MWS79cS/A In the far distance you can just make out the ugly urban sprawl of hotels and vacation apartments on La Manga.
