[QUOTE="Bad Pilgrim, post: 1041449, member: 50859"] [B]Day 5: Siete Aguas - Requena, 23 kms [/B] Most of today's walk was on a country road for the first time since I left Valencia. Shortly after Siete Aguas, the Camino joins other hiking trails in the area. Before Rebollar I entered the paraje natural Villingordo (I think that is what I read on an information panel). A paraje natural is basically: nice surroundings and hiking trails; [I]Caminos naturales[/I]. I walked on a broad dirt road and arrived comfortably in the hamlet of Rebollar, half-way to Requena. There is a truck stop-restaurant in Rebollar, but it is not accessible from the Camino. I had to walk through Rebollar and follow the motorway in a loop, over the highway, to get there. At the end of the bridge there are steps that bring you down immediately in the direction of the restaurant so there is some kind of shortcut. The walk to the restaurant and back is about 1 km, I think. Ironically, when I was back on the Camino the regular bar in Rebollar was opening. That one is right on the Camino, so if you find it open there is no need to make the detour to the truck stop. I was not prepared for the beauty on the second part of this stage! From Rebollar, the Camino mostly follows the camino natural of Turia-Cabriel. The scenery kept changing every km: from open fields to pine forest, to a small river, to rocks and vertical cliffs à la Sigüenza, to vineyards... Always among rolling hills that were shining green in spite of the dry summer. I fished out my cellphone more than once to take pictures (see below). Later I discovered I had actually walked an alternative route, as described by the guidebook. But I just followed the arrows. I guess a lot of people will end up there as well, and I don't think they will complain. I was tired but happy when I reached Requena. The town looks interesting. I am sure I will make more use of my cellphone this evening. Castle and churches abound. I saw the entrance to the Museum of Requena: maybe I will visit them later. There is an albergue de peregrinos here, but I need to be sure there is an AC and I doubt I will find one there. I opted for Hotel Avenida, 35 euros. There is a cheaper alternative but a few kms outside town (Motel Sol, 30 euros). Tomorrow is the peak of the heatwave, at least in this area. I need to plan carefully... [/QUOTE]
