[QUOTE="Donna Sch, post: 714751, member: 33191"] Today we got our first taste of proper winter weather leaving Ávila. The clouds were thick and dark and it remained clear until Narillo. Got the obligatory photos of the Four Posts and the views of the city and grabbed some breakfast at the bar across the road. From there the countryside was lovely, nice country roads, well marked, rolling countryside etc but unfortunately not much to see due to the cloud and eventually the rain started. Drizzle was expected but we got decent rain, wind and even hail at one point. Thankfully the wind came from behind and then the side. We turned off onto the highway to Cardeñosa and the bar there was a very welcome find. Lovely chap who even gave us a cup of broth spiked with something alcoholic (?Venezuela). Then the slog to Gotarrendura. On a fine day this would be fantastic with great views, a slight downhill overall with even the odd seat along the way. Today the road was turning to mud, the wind was making my poncho a pain in the arse and the wind chill brought the temp very close to freezing. As we got into Gotarrendura we bumped into a lady in a car who told us to get in and next thing she picked up the elderly lady who holds the keys and took us to the albergue. Two camino angels as far as I am concerned. The albergue is fantastic. Radiators, a washer and dryer, a reasonable kitchen, a number of power points. Donativo. So at least our stuff is able to dry out although at the moment I'm in multiple layers in my sleeping bag trying to warm up. We have also been joined by a Czech pilgrim doing his 3rd camino which is rather unexpected. The weather forecast is crappy for tonight but hopefully clear in the morning and cloudy in the afternoon so the run to Arevalo should hopefully be decent. [/QUOTE]
