After a few days in Cordoba I decided to take the bus to Barcelona and after a couple of days there another bus to Toulouse. I almost wasn’t allowed on the bus. The driver insisted my bicycle be wrapped up. He gave me 5 minutes to find something. I gave up in despair but when I got back in 5 minutes he had 2 large garbage bags and this it was wrapped up adequately. 16 hours to calm down from the panic, and a very pleasant ride.
