Monday 15th of April 2013 - day 55
We are up early the weather is heating up, we have 28km to travel, mainly on gravel roads, tracks ..... sometimes you wonder where they are taking you. No towns on route so made sure we have lots of fluids and some snacks. we are looking at between 6 to 8 hours walk today depending on the conditions. Its 7.30am when we leave its light but the sun wont come up till about 8am and the temp. is mid teens already. The road is dusty windy and gentle hills .... the GPS when it works says we are walking well .... our pace a bit over 5km an hour ...the country is low scrubby cover over a rather dessert country side. After a couple of hours we hit the main road, turn south and walk this clean asphalt road for a hundred metres or so then turn onto an even rougher narrower track that leads into the dessert ... the GPS says this is the road .... we know its true but its just a one lane nothing road.
We follow it though rough country its getting quite hot now, its still only 10am,but over 20C and no cover .... after about an hour on this track it gets wider and the countryside flatter, we are in farm land again then we hid bitumen again and a good road, only 11km to our destination.
We make Moron de la Frontera at 1pm ... 5 1/2 hours, very good time. We stop for lunch and a well deserved beer, we are hot, dusty and need a shower I have a bocadillo with omlete and salad, light and tasty and a second beer.
We hunt out our accom. and veg out for the rest of the day .... we eat in and enjoy the balmy evening weather.
