Tuesday 17th of July 2012,
Walked from Brunete to Navas del Rey 25km if walking on the side of main road, yuk.
So walked the back roads, gps was great and I made it about at about 1pm ish.  Walked mainly through farm land and the occasional small urban development, no bars of restaurants on-route, but luckily had stocked up on goodies prior to leaving Brunete.
Another very hot day, so walked early, even at 6.30 it was about 20C and by the time I got to Navas del Rey it was in the low 30's and was very pleased to find a store and buy a Gatorade, then down the road was a bar and a well deserved beer. Ended up walking about 29km by walking the back roads but pleasant, though will have  to rethink distances as very tired today as there was not a lot of shade.
Staying in a rural retreat (B+B), pleasant diner included, great and a nice couple ... translator working overtime as they speak no English and my Spanish is basic. The heat took it out of me today so will try and walk a bit less tomorrow.
