Thank you all, glad you liked the write-up

What type’s your Mooney and how did it behave in the very hot wx?
It’s an Encore-converted 252. It has a TSIO360SB. It’s not a problem to keep the temperatures low with the 252s, but climb performance was anemic.

Yes, but the field is PPR, so this would require some coordination with the operator. What about Granada? The big airport there is GA friendly and the town is really nice, too.

I can’t tell exactly for this trip, there were quite a few short legs, but usually we see a little over ten GPH at 65%. She does 165kt up high (say 170 and higher) and about 155kt at 120.
Great trip and report as usual!
This Juan Espadafor airfield is interesting. It must either be new or an upgraded AG / fire fighting strip (there are several in the area). Certainly did not exist in its present form when I lived in the area. The trouble with many of these small strips in Spain is the total lack of local services.
Cool trip! Looks warm
I’m a closet Mooney 252 fan. Roughly what average TAS and Fuel Burn did you have on the trip? The efficiency is compelling.
Excellent photos! I can‘t quite share your enthusiasm for places in the middle of Spain, but still love your reports. You really put the Mooney to good use.
What a brilliant trip.

Badajoz was “fun” in that the avgas pump officially shut 1300 UTC so I had to do a really early start from Shoreham; just after sunrise. In the end it turned out that the pump man was happy to wait all day if you were paying cash 
Nice trip @terbang thanks for sharing, about the right time for my inspiration as I am doing the same in a Mooney next week
I will check Requena (LERE) on way out (they have cheap Avgas?) and probably Badajoz (LEBZ) on way back if time helps…
If you wanna sell one day: leave the trim fully forward
Thank you! Great report, as always.
Thanks for your report. It inspires me to fly again southbound to Spain.
Thanks for posting, terbang, nice trip!
I had not heard of Espaldafor, looks like my kind of field if going to wonderful Granada again.
