Saturday, 13th of April 2013 - day 53
As we leave Campillos we have a choice of following a highway slightly north which would take us through Los Corrales on our way to El Saucejo (25.5km) or slightly south on a country lane with no other town between us and El Saucejo (24.9km). We provision up and head out on the country lane, the land here reminds me of the meseta in northern Spain, flatish but always rolling hills. The only trees to be seen are the olive groves or newly ploughed paddocks some with crops already sprouting.
The day starts out cool but its bright sun shine so know it wont stay that way, expected top around 24-25C and dry. we know its most likely a 5-6 hour walk as long as there are no major hills to climb.
We reach our destination around 1pm, we find our accom. first but its too early to check in. We leave our packs there and wander of to a near by bar that has been recommended .... there is an outside garden, well more like a terrace with pot plants and an over hanging tree, we sit in and enjoy the food and beverages, lunch is a platter of mixed tapas washed down by some beers. We reflect upon that its Saturday again and where did the week go ..... we will spend next week end in Seville as we are only about 100km from there. After lunch back to the pension and clean up. Liz and I go for a tour of the town the other 2  have a kip. The town is a bit of an enigma some beautiful architecture and palm lined streets and also quite a bit of petty ordinary type of buildings, the town is not overly large and is gathered around the roads that come and go. We enjoy a coffee and then a wine watching the world go by ... back to our rooms and diner ... it may be a small town but I think every one was out for Saturday night .... a lot of fun diner was great ..... a pork dish tonight done in a roulard style with a yummy tangy sauce served with a yum cabbage dish and roasti potato's .... quite tasty.
