Indulging his new passion for photography, ex-pro Juan Antonio Flecha teams up with renowned professional cycling photographer Camille McMillan to help him hone his craft.

They ride to Spain’s remote Picos de Europa to capture its beautiful vistas, incredible wildlife, rugged glacial valleys, and peaceful cow meadows.

Along the way, they enlist three time world champion and local lad Óscar Freire to pose for them! Camille teaches Juan about composition and what it means to build a story through pictures. Can Juan Antonio learn what it takes to capture the perfect cycling photo?
