Tibi is a town in the mountains, about 40 km from Alicante. One of my standard
cycling itineraries is a circular route which takes me to Tibi via San Vicente
and back home via Jijona. It is a fairly challenging 75 km ride because there
are some really steep climbs along the way. I can certainly feel it in my legs
as I write this.
This is the view of the town from the road above:

One of Tibi’s attractions is Lili the Swiss Cheese Pusher (my private nickname
for her). She is originally from Kanton Zug, next to Zurich, but has lived in
Tibi for a long time. She keeps goats and makes delicious cheese from their
milk. She sells it to restaurants around Alicante, and also delivers to our
office once a week. But she also has a small shop in Tibi, and I went there
today. Lili is very modest and self-conscious, but I got her to pose for me
anyway:

I bought a couple of cheeses and took them home in my handlebar bag:

This is local food at its best.
