[QUOTE="alansykes, post: 675711, member: 9811"] Sigüenza to Atienza Another 4* day. Left Sigüenza at 8am with tostada and coffee. 6km gets you to the walled village of Palazuelos, going through C José-Antonío, up C Sotelo and on to the Plaza del Generalissimo, my first ever full house of illegal street names in a row. Here the guerrilla El Empecinado held off French troops commanded by General Joseph Hugo (father of Victor) in the war of independence. Rather than follow the Lana I decided to detour uphill to see the romanesque church at Carabias. It's an almost perfect small church, in the centre of a tiny village perched above the valley. You rejoin the Lana near La Olmeda de Jadraque. Then on to the almost equally ridiculously lovely village of Santamera, at the junction of three canyons, with its church perched on a cliff, and eagles circling overhead. Finally, you get the first sight of Atienza and its castle and church looking quite close. Perhaps 2 hours later, at dusk in my case, you stagger into town only to be told to slog another km uphill to the town centre to pick up the albergue key. A lovely day, but quite a long one, and there were moments when I wished I'd ignored Carabias and the extra 6km it entailed. No bars open en route, but loads of fuentes. According to wikiloc [URL]https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/siguenza-to-atienza-via-carabias-29924640[/URL] it was 38km with c700m of accumulated ascent. The albergue at Atienza is in the former school, 4 rooms, 2 beds, loads of blankets no pillows, loo and shower, free. [/QUOTE]
