Monday, 25th of March - day 34
It was time to move on, a slow start today as we are all  a tad hung over from a very fun but boozy weekend. Luckily it is a cool start to the day and we seek out a coffee first thing - we are on the road to Granada, it is built up with dwellings, cafes, bars, small farms and orchards all the way to Las Palas.
It is dead flat for the first 3 hours walking and the odd gentle hill for the further hour and a half, it is overcast and easy walking, we have footpaths till about an hour out of Las Palas where we walk narrow country lanes through open farm land and pasture.
Las Palas is a typical rural town, we locate the bar and get some lunch,ask about hotels/hostels .... non in this town. But he tells us of a place some 5-6km on the way we are going, called Las Golondrnas Holiday Centre .... we are thinking English Holiday Centre like in the older English movies? Any way another hour and a bit through pleasant surroundings and we arrive. Its a group of old buildings, a town that has been completely be taken over and turned into apartments, motel like accom and turns out to be more than acceptable, we book a 4 bed apartment and settle in. not many other people here as busy time is the week end. A good meal and some more vino and another late ish night ..... its Spain.
