[QUOTE="Undermanager, post: 743931, member: 46206"] Stage 6. Alpera to Alatoz. 26 Kms I can confirm the tapas bar opposite the town hall in Alpera was exceptional. I had some kind of prawn and mushroom dish in a buttery garlic dish washed down with a 2012 Rioja red. It was wonderful in the warm evening sun. Today was another fabulous day. It was forecast to be hot later so I made the effort to be gone by 6.45am, after a breakfast of back stretches and yogurt. The back is increasingly starting to be a concern now. I'm adding back stretches to the daily routine as well as trying hard to change my walking posture but there's no instant solution to this age old problem. My rucksack is only 8kg without water and I'm using walking poles which do help. I guess it's just one day at a time now and then see how it goes. Today's walk is through very pretty countryside with no facilities anywhere again, and very quiet. It's not too taxing although there's a long stretch of gentle uphill for a few hours, and a downhill stretch of 5kms into Alatoz. Some of the walk is along tracks lined with trees so some shade was around, but by 11.00am, it was getting really hot and there was hardly any cooling wind either. I'm glad I had a 1.5 litre bottle of water because I needed most of it. I got to Alatoz around 1.00pm. The key to the albergue is available from Bar Ovi, but isn't available usually until 3.00pm, as the Albergue guy who has it works - perhaps phoning a day ahead might mean the key can be left at the bar, if your Spanish is up to it. As it happened, someone did turn up after half an hour, just as we were finishing our drinks, so all good. The albergue was welcome and is okay for a night. There are only four beds, no cooking facilities and freezing cold showers. The shower was hell to start with, but really invigorating once you took the plunge and stood under it, but oh boy was it ice cold. Food at the Bar Ovi was excellent, but there are a couple of other places close by you could try for variety. Apart from the back issues, it was a great day again and should be the same tomorrow. I'll be heading for Hotel Aro's rather than the albergue like many before so a bit of extra comfort will be the reward for getting to Casas Ibanez in one piece. [/QUOTE]
