I'm very very envious!! Looking forward to photos and comment about the track.
I've only played on three Euro tracks, Jerez, Cartagena and Portimao - Portimao is the one I'd go back to EVERY time I could!! LOL The others were great, I love Cartagena as it's more twisty/less straights. But Portimao is an on steroids version and I LOVE it!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

Got lists and lists of stuff to take.
Was much easier in UK when everything was already in the LMH or on the dedicated trackdays shelves in the garage.

Snap : I would go Jerez, portimao *and finally Cartagena
* to be fair the weather was not on my side for portimao as I went in October so never really had a good run at it , even though I did have full wets it’s not the same
Can’t say I would be too upset having to ride any of them again .

I 'liked' them all. Cartagena was the first, then Jerez, then Portimao. I'd go back to any of them (TBF, I'd go to any euro circuit!) but I would LOVE to go back to Portimao!! Need to go and not through the bike down the track (and smash my little finger!!)

Just seen that early afternoon on last day, there's a fun race for each group.
Hmm. Bit too old for that Malarkey. But I still feel able to ride close and fast to others.
Just maybe not fast enough to win.
There were fun races at the other Spanish circuits I did, but I was banned coz I was an instructor

You're never too old... unless it's a Le Mans start

A few months ago on Gran Canaria I was pleased that I could go quick without a hint of fear or trepidation.
Took ages to get to the circuit.
The circuit staff were being a right pain and made it impossible for me to wander about and talk to the TDOs.
I've ridden here before, so not too bothered.
Stinking 34c anyway, so came the hotel
Blimey. It's posh
Left Jerez early and first 2 hours averaging steady 85
Then hit Portugal. The toll machine wouldn't accept debit cards so had to go shit roads. 100 miles in 3 hours.
I was cursing.
Hotel staff moved a barrier and let me put bike back of hotel safe.
No other parking at all.
