Monday 23rd of July 2012,
Another hot day coming up, ready to get moving as soon as it got light enough to see. Have to cross a ridge today, so a bit of climbing to do. Climb wasn't to bad but road very narrow with armco fence on side of the road ... felt quite nervous when ever a car came by as they don't slow down .... its like they say, how close can we get without hitting him.
Made it to Poyales del Hoyo about 10am had a cheese omelet and a coffee here, then on my way again ... all down hill here. Arrived Candeleda just prior to midday ... gps comes in handy with all these narrow streets and lane, as its quite a big town.
Check out where I have booked to stay, room will be ready after 2pm so down to the bar, sit outside under the shade of a tree and enjoy the 30 plus warmth ... with a cold beer. Ordered a salad for lunch and another beer. Then back to see if room is ready .... yes, so usual washing etc, then Siesta.
Diner about 9pm still 32-33C outside then back to room and the air-con.
