[QUOTE="alansykes, post: 174567, member: 9811"] For the first time in my life, I'm fairly sure, I got me to a nunnery, that of los Carmelitas Descalzos in Medina del Campo. Have to say I've seen no nuns, shod or barefoot, but it's a great albergue, one of the best. Left Arévalo in freezing fog at dawn, with a pretty hoar frost on all the trees, and fairly soon on my torso as well (thank goodness for the miracle of merino). Roughly this time last year I got mild frostbite on my hands in similar fog leaving el Cubo but fortunately I still have the nice woolly gloves I bought in Zamora then. The sun burned off the fog for a few km, and I could briefly see Guaradamma's snowcapped mountains fringing the southern sky. Medina del C is really great. The last many km into town are a slog, but worth it in the end, with the forbidding mass of La Mota, which Cesare Borgia escaped from, appearing out of the cloud. Amongst many other delights, I really enjoyed the royal butchers, which claims to be the oldest continuously operating market in the world, although I suspect the dreadful musak wasn't installed by Philip II.
