Friday 24th of May 2013 - day 94
A leisurely start to the day, cool and crisp first thing, but clear skies. As we depart Zamora we stop for coffee, and then about an hour later at Roales we grab another one. The country is flat and treeless, we follow gravel roads that run parallel with a highway that seems to vary between a couple of hundred metres away to up to half a km in places.We make Montamartaa bit after midday and relax in the sun, its high teens temperature wise with a top of 20-21C later. We have a look around the town, Find the best bar/restaurantie and sit in the sun ... the old men of the village are lined up backs to the wall talking and sipping there drinks. After lunch its time to check into the Aubergue, clean up, do our washing and put it on the line, then off to check out the church and the roman ruins (which are all along the Via de la Plata). The church is across dry river bed lake bed and on a hill, we cross an old roman bridge to get there, like all the churches, plain on the outside, but ornate and lavish inside.
Back to the restaurant and diner in the early evening sun (the hottest part of the day) then back to the Aubergue and settle in for the night.
