| An early start |
On Sunday we were on the road by 6:00am and
had reached Calzadilla de los Barros, the only village of the day, just as the
sun was rising. No coffee on offer at 8:00am on a Sunday morning. We had very
little shade along the remainder of the stage which started with harvested
cereal fields. Later it was mostly olive groves and vineyards. We did find
shelter for our rest breaks, first under some bushes at a ford, then under an
olive tree and later under a fig tree. I was able to finish off my lunch with a
fresh fig. We arrived at our destination at around 1.30pm having walked a total
of 21km. As the albergue was more than a kilometre off route we decided to stop
at a well-appointed hostal. El Monte looks like a rough and ready bar but the
upstairs accommodation was excellent. We had a good meal in the restaurant.
