Castellón saw the castles of Toledo

After a very rainy and snowy Christmas, the weather gave us a break and decided to make a new route in which the goal was not so much seek roads biradas with great curves, but follow a route tourist rather different castles in Toledo and in truth it was worth.

This time, try to vary the Brewery SUSARON outside the venue to start the route, but unfortunately we found it was closed so we had to find a nearby coffee shop to take us the first coffee day.

About 9:15 with a temperature 5 ° began the journey toward Toledo by A-42. About 10:00 am we reached our first goal the Parador de Toledo, where we can enjoy of El Alcázar, the Cathedral and Tajo embracing the city, just awesome.

Our intention was to have a coffee, but tell us they do not open until 11:00 the cafeteria, so we decided to go towards Polan to reach our next target is none other than Guadamur . At this small town we have a castle well maintained, which in turn had to have a great importance since it stayed Felipe el Hermoso, Juana La Loca, Cardinal Cisneros, Charles I and Princess Eboli. Unfortunately you can not visit according to him behind the fence that surrounds it.

only 6 kms from the CM-401 is the Castle Polan, witnessed the struggle between Christians and mulsumanes XII century, which is included in the urban landscape of the people.

After the obligatory pictures, we go ahead by the CM-4050 towards the reservoir and Burujón Castrejón . Although the road is not in very good condition, a nice walk where we find a sort of palace almost reaching the reservoir.

We doubt whether to go, but quite curious we decided to go ahead in search of the next castle Barcience XI century. Since the CM-4009 road near Torrijos, you can see from the top of the hill which dominates the region. To access it you have to go through the village, but unfortunately we are already a fair bit of time, so we decided not to visit and get closer to Noves.

Before going to pull our appetizers to "Custom Bar", a biker bar with a great charm, we went to see the Castle of S. Silvestre . To reach the castle should take a dirt road, Jose Ramon with his BMW RT, but with the soul of "GS Adventure" encourages us take it as it is not very demanding. And here we are with our mounts GSX650F Suzuki, BMW R1200RT, BMW R1200GS and BMW K1300S . Carefully we reached the entrance to the private estate where there is the castle, we see that the gate is open and decide to go risking to call us attention. Once inside we see a fifteenth century castle ruins that shows what a day was beautiful.

After enjoying this last castle, we headed to the Noves "Custom Bar to take us some beers, as usual without alcohol. This is a biker bar in addition to its charm because of its decoration, it has other as are their beers and snacks.

Finally we return to Madrid by the A-5 having enjoyed a nice route and thinking good company which will be next.

2010

Penguins would not be the major international winter concentration is not the cold, hard winter. This year is no less than in previous editions and the snow and low temperatures were also registered in the concentration of 2010.

Taking advantage of the weather forecast for Saturday 9 gave an "uncertain truce" in the storm, we decided to travel to Puente Duero (Valladolid) to be in the 29 Penguin edition. Well equipped to combat the cold (-5 ° C leaving the toll A-6, Adanero ) Juan Recio (BMW 1150 GS), José Ramón Noguerol (BMW 1200RT) and Jesus Blanco (BMW 1150 GS Adventure, a good friend and fellow world traveler on a motorcycle) us stand with our horses in the recreation area Bridge Duero, where the merger takes place.

We

good, clean road and only the section from Guadarrama to Villacastín "recommended" go with a little more caution, being also the coldest of the trip both the outward and around.

I have to admit that go with these bikes Penguins (Protection, thermal cuff, security ...) and a good team right technical clothing is much more "comfortable" that years ago when travel was more "heroic" with "other" material and "other type motorcycles. In any case remains a journey that you have to do at least once in your life (curriculum) for passenger on a motorcycle.

Penguins And what, what?. Then register us, see the atmosphere, meet friends, acquaintances greet, take several "penguin broth" , eat a good snack with drinks one of the refreshment stations, try the "carajillo penguin" , talking about travel and fascinating land for horseback on a motorcycle, browsing the stalls selling "things" of bikers, bikes see "specially prepared" for the occasion, to look with admiration to the living legends like Honda Africa Twin ....

Once the sun rises, as it snows lightly, it seems not, but it is quite cold. Decided to make it around early in the afternoon to travel light and avoid the falling temperatures. We cherish it and take the A-6 . At first it Good afternoon, with sunshine and some "nice" 5 º C but Villacastín height and travel down the thermometer with a little "comfortable" -1 º C . Everything is snow, the road clean but drive with caution. Freezing temperatures (-2 º C toll ) accompany us to the entrance of the tunnel Guadarrama. In Villalba we already have a "warm" 4.5 ° C . With clear skies and good rhythm at home 18:30. Glad the hot shower.

Penguins to another year. José Ramón
