Monday 16th of July 2012,
Its a bit after 6.30am up and ready to start my new adventure, its a clear sky and about 17deg C outside. Will get an hour or so of walking under my belt then grab some breakfast ... am hoping to walk about 30km today but that depends on what track fitness I have lost in the last few weeks?
Know my general direction and towns where plenty of accommodation available.
So here we go .... more later.
Well here I am at Brunete about 30km from Madrid, a comfortable walk through tree lined streets, parks and country lanes to get here, tired but no aches or pains.
A comfortable hostel, private room, and not expensive .... other patrons not overly friendly, but!!!!
Well, will see how it goes a bit further out into the country, really its all about interaction with the locals and fellow travellers and the experience.
No pilgrims on this trek, or none that I have seen, the other odd backpacker and a few on bicycle holidays.
