Sunday, the 14th of April 2013 - day 54
We have to head 19km north to the next town for accommodation or 40km wast which is the way we need to go. alas non of us feel like a 49km hike through the hills which is what we would have had.
We head out in the cool of the morning but know it will get hotter, the skies a bright and sunny. We follow the asphalt north for about 6-7km then turn onto a gravel track it has no sign posts and winds off into the rolling hills. We trust our GPS and start the gravelly dusty march. the track twists and turn through the hills. we arrive at Puerto de la Encina about midday, its a picturesque little hills village, and it has what we require a small but hospitable guesthouse. We make ourselves comfortable and settle in for the rest of the day/night.
