After a night punctuated by the sound of dustbins and other heavy items crashing around in the wind, we awoke to an overcast sky and an extremely gusty day. 

We decided that this would be a good time to take a break and see what Jaén has to offer.  Quite a lot actually; a castle perched high above the city from which we got a fantastic view of tomorrow´s ride (which looks completely flat – yiphee!), an absolutely gigantic cathedral and a bustling city centre.  The weather forecast for tomorrow looks better and so I have great hopes for our first 100 km ride.

By the way, apologies for any spelling or grammatical errors;  the end result of spending so many hours puzzling over such things in Spanish is that now I can’t get it right in any language!
