Almaden to Monesterio 18th October


Sunrise 1 hour after leaving Almaden in the dark.


Waymark after Almaden.


Orange trees, Real de la Jara.





Looking back.


"War of the Worlds" church, entering Monesterio.

I left the Alburgue in the dark as I like to see the sunrise. Got slightly lost before I'd even got out of the town but it was ok after that as long as I concentrated on the waymarking arrows by torchlight in the dark. The terrain and the waymarking made it very easy to get lost as there are tracks leading off in many directions. Met up with Dennis from Berlin along the way and had a good long chat. Stayed with him for the afternoon and had a beer together once we had found the hostal Extremadura in Monesterio.
