Wednesday, 10th of April 2013 -day 50
We were in a delemer today follow the side road of the A-92n or the country roads and and 10km to the walk.Sanity prevailed and we took the shorter path of 21km basically ... well about half distance was along side the freeway. We did manage some quieter roads as well.
Its a bright and sunny day, but coolish in the early morning, we pass through only one town of any significance La Palma (we passed through a La Palma yesterday?) Ah well Coffee and snacks there then on to Archidona. We are all glad we took the shorter route as it is getting quite warm when we arrive about 12.30-1pm ish. We find a very pleasant bar with a great court yard and relax in the shade of a huge tree. We spend several hours here then its off to locate our accom, an old convent on the other side of the town, sounds a long way but its only a few hundred metres away. The day is very warm now and we think back to if we had taken the quiet country route we would just be arriving about now, hot and bothered and tired as we would have had to carry quite a bit of extra water and energy drinks as there were no towns on that route.
So we spend the rest of the day with our feet up with the odd beer or two in the shade, followed by diner, then back to our rooms and here I am doing the blog again.
