Sunday, 12th of may 2013 - day 82
We leave Canaveral bright and early, some 27-28km to cover today. Its all on country lanes or dedicated camino track ..... rough, dusty and no or little protection from the sun or wind.
Its another of those high 20's low 30's days with a lot of walking and no towns on the path ... so all provisions have to be carried. well it took us almost 6 and a 1/2 hours to get to Galisteo, not hard walking as its mostly flat and some of it followed a canal getting near to Galisteo .... was tempted to go for a swim as at this stage it was hot, tempted as I was the water was freezing. As we get closer we see that our destination is a walled city, on a hill .... we venture through the gates and enter, its a mix of old and new. Finding a bar not far from the entrance we sit and order some beers, not overly hungry we have a mixed platter of tapas which we share.
Then its off to our albergue, by the time we get there its all booked out so are told of either the hotel or a guesthouse not far away. We choose the guesthouse, it lovely and has a beautiful walled garden. we clean up, wash and dry clothes and relax in the shade of the garden. We are offered to eat in with there family which we enthusiastically agree. We have a huge rib eye roast, yum with vegies and all the trimmings. We drink there home made red wine and have a great time. The sky has clouded and they say its going to get cooler over the next week with some rain.
Well will see what tomorrow brings.
