Tuesday 31st of July 2012,
Acehuche to Zarza la Mayor ... 25km, a bright sunny day, early start top around 34C flat to gently rolling hills,, hardly a tree to be seen, either pasture, or  a teatree like scrub, have to walk along verge of road which is about half a metre wide.
County side dry and monotonous, just walking, counting steps from post to post after about 2 and a half hours wandered through a small town called Ceclavin, got some supplies and kept going .... arrived Zarza lay Mayor just after midday, temp over 30 but felt more like mid 30's.
Found a welcoming bar and settled in for a couple of hours, had lunch a couple of beers and watched the  Olympics (nothing on Australia) then aahhhh Aust - Spain in basketball ... but that was coming up later. So off to my apartment, sounds big .... not so, but then I don't need much ... do the usual stuff and sleep for a while.
Off for diner, more Olympics and dam Spain beat Aust. in the basketball. A lot smiling faces a a bit of ribbing and a few Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi .... Yes I take it with a smile and a shrug of the shoulders. Then back to the apartment and sleep.
