The traveler's view. After so many kilometers searching for alternative paths, pushing the bike among stones, turning back again and again, and enduring a thirst that seemed never-ending, this cycle path gifted us something as simple as it was valuable: the tranquility of pedaling. The last kilometers passed with a different kind of calm, perhaps because we knew the adventure was coming to an end. Looking back, we understood that the best routes are not always the ones that go as planned, but those that, despite all setbacks, leave behind memories that will last forever.
