Catamarca to Cordoba 605km
Todays long ride took us across the flats along the bottom end of the Salinas Grades (large salt lake) used for the production of potassium and sodium and also provided an endless vista across its 8290 square km of dry salt. The long, flat and strait morning ride turned into rolling hills and sweeping curves this afternoon as we approached the hills of the Cordoba region and travelled through numerous small towns before reaching our hotel in the town of Alta Gracia on the western outskirts of the city of Cordoba. Tonight we wandered the streets and witnessed the electioneering campaign of various candidates for an Oct 3 Municipal election.
