Badlands 2021 (Day 4)
Day four was probably my best day, I felt I had such powerful legs and so I pushed to the mountains, dropped my friends for a while and enjoyed the steep landscape in solitude. Once we reunited and eat together, we reach the Mediterranean, climbing Cabo de gata leaving other riders behind, finally facing the hell of the beach, stormy and wet and Almeria where we ate a very nice and so much needed burger. After Almeria, we decided to hit the road to find a smaller place to sleep, but we didn´t ex...

Day 3 started in good company, Paolo, Ricardo pushed side by side, sharing the best conversations you can have while crossing the hell. not so much climbing, but the desert of Tabernas received us with its 40 degrees celsius, after a delicious lunch, we faced the challenge that ended in one of the worse terrains I ever rode, a dried river.

Badlands 2021 (Day 2)
After a hell of the first day in which I had 7 punctures and I got seriously dropped, the new day started very early. 4:00 am and I was already climbing out Gorafe, according to my tracker, I started the day in position 140, feeling a bit sick and with the morale literally on the floor. I decided to continue until my body decided it was enough, something never happened. With every minute on the bike, I felt stronger and I just kept pushing and pushing until the end of the day. A hard day, by the...

Badlands 2021 (Day 1)
I had the pleasure and of course the pain of ride on one of the most hardcore Ultracycling races in Europe The Badlands, a race around Granada, across deserts, highlands, beaches and beautiful small villages. I recorded some audio that may be interesting for you. I think it may be part of the last project, sounds of the route, but you decide. The first day started plethoric, I was literally on fire, feeling extremely strong and capable to finish this race in a very privileged position, at least ...

I ended my bike trip in Berlin, of course, as a performance artist, I had to finish this dream in some way close to that world. I was invited to perform in a huge collective but I didn't made it, I arrived in Berlin one day late. Anyway I could enjoy the last day of the festival and I wanted to show you how a street performance art festival sounds.

Lost in my way to ljubljana
Never fully trust on your GPS, watch sometimes the map on your phone, find other ways and never trust blindly on Garmin specially. Anyway, despite being lost in the mountains, I enjoyed the gravel experience, the insane gradients on the ascents, the mosquitos and bees and the two crazy descents. Here is a small audio taste of how it sounds the loneliness os the slovenian mountains. By the way, now I know where Roglic and Pogaçar train.

Campeggio Obelisco - Opicina
I arrived a bit late to Trieste without finding a place to sleep, I rode 200 k with my bike and at that point I was exhausted but then I realised I had to bike at least 10 kms more in order to find a good place to put my tent, out of the big city. The only problem was that those 10 kms had 20% gradient in average. after all the suffering I arrived in a camping place and I recorded the sounds of what happened around my tent.

My journey took me to one of my dreamed cities, Venice was the jewel I always wanted to visit, that is why I have more than one recording of its streets.

Tione di Trento
Right before the presentation of a futbol team, which is very traditional in the area, I stopped to have an ice cream and this was the sound of everything around me. By the way, Italian ice cream is the best, when your energy levels are low after a long ride.

Playing briscola in Breguzzo - Italy
In the middle of the Italian alps there is a small town called Breguzzo, in Trentino region. There I found friends from my home town, they introduced me their friends and in one party they played briscola. first they told me that this game is interesting because you have to communicate with your partner using gestures, I imagined a very silent game, but of course I was wrong, is Italy.

Leaving Milan early in the morning makes a huge difference with arriving at night. The noise and the music disappear and everything is calm, just a few people on their way to work.

Piazza del Duomo
Milan appears to me like a white jewel after an insane ride of 200 km. I arrived in Piazza del Duomo when the night was slowly coming, despite not so many people was there, the environment was noisy, musical, festive. I stayed there several minutes enjoying the company of strangers. This is how the piazza sounds on a Friday night.

Wassen, some kms before Saint Gothard Pass
The rain followed my trip may be too long, but several kilometres after Zurich, I found Wassen, the first place without rain in two weeks. There, it was a beautiful river and I approach the first mountains before the big effort of the Saint Gotthard Pass. Despite the huge amount of traffic, the landscapes appear to me very calm.

Zurich and the café Voltaire
Zurich was waiting for me with some rain, but once the sun was out, my good friend Wathiq invited me to downtown for a guided tour. he is also a performance artist and knows some of the most important points of the city. We went for example to the mythical Café Voltaire, where Dadá was born. sadly it was closed for reparations, we could get in and see the process but no coffee for us this time. I may have to go back at some point. This is how Zurich sounds in a good company.

Ferry between Germany and Switzerland. Meersburg-Konstanz
On our way from Stuttgart to Zurich, we found a blue lake that divides part of the territories between Germany and Switzerland, the Obersee or Bodensee. we had to take a ferry to cross the border and avoid 50 kilometres of extra ride. this was the second border I crossed in this journey and the only one I did with my brother. This is how the interior of this ferry sounded.
