[QUOTE="Donna Sch, post: 707920, member: 33191"] Chinchilla to Albacete: It was all downhill and flat. Wheatfields just starting to grow. No trees. Very cloudy day and quite chilly but pleasant. Managed to wander offtrack and we only realised when there was a little ruin that made a convenient toilet stop and I looked at the phone to check where the turn right was meant to be...oops. A bit of backtracking and cross country stuff... The advantage of that however is that the sun had come out a little, there was a little less cloud...and we were in a great position to catch the takeoff of Typhoon Eurofighters which are Spanish Airforce made in Germany. Los Llanos Airbase. Barrie does aviation photography (and things that move fast) so this is completely his thing. They were heading north as was a Hercules which was there for refuelling. No way he could get his usual photos (that requires a rather large lens the size of a large tablelamp which definitely is not camino-friendly) but he could get good enough pics for ID purposes. Also some touch and go landings. I didn't realise that the Parador is on the Camino route. We stopped there for lunch. The chap in the bar has the best pokerface and the driest sense of humour. Nice trot into Albacete but you can't describe it as a pretty city. There are individual buildings such as the Gran Hotel and the gardens. But there seems to be a lot of 1880 onward type architecture and then late 20th ugly box stuff. Do like their use of ornamental kale in their floral beds But I was happy as I turfed my Movistar SIM which didn't recharge from online and never made phone calls/texts from Day 1. Now have an Orange card which works. Hit a local bar for a St V's dinner. [/QUOTE]
