Thursday, 11th of April 2013 - day 51
The towns are well spaced apart here so a slight diversion and we take country road, state highways etc to Antequera, some 20km away otherwise it was 31km along the A-92M to Mollina or near 40km on country roads to Alameda. So Antequera it was ... and a very scenic route as well flat farmlands with hills, more like huge rocks thrust up out of the country side here and there. the day cool patchy cloud low 20's at its best. Not a long day's walking, no towns to distract us, so have to carry all our provisions ... no shade, no where to stop and rest except to sit on the side of the road. The last few km's through modern light industrial development. We make our destination just after midday into the heart of the old town .... find a pleasant place to enjoy our lunch then off to our Hostel for the night. There's a Parador here, would have been nice but well maybe a tad expensive. We are comfortable and its clean, we can wash and dry our cloths. All clean and relaxed we head out for diner to a bar about 3 doors down the road. Its simple but tasty food .... BBQ lamb with some Moroccan flavours, potatoes with anchovies and lemon and a tangy fennel salad ..... yum.
