[QUOTE="alansykes, post: 250640, member: 9811"] [ATTACH]14507[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14508[/ATTACH] Now safely installed in nice hotel in Sax, special pilgrim price (no albergue). First day was a bit tough, going over rough ground up to a saint's hermitage in a cave, where luckily there was lots of water - the temperature, absurdly for late October, was 35 ( it made the front page of the Información de Alicante, so it must be unusual). I also left Alicante later than I should have done as I had the fantasy of swimming on the empty beach as the sun rose out of the Mediterranean. Very nice, but it meant I only said goodbye to Miguel Hernández at about 9.30, and carried on partly on the senda del poeta (the route he took from his village to get to Alicante). So the day was longer and hotter than it should have been. Novelda is a nice place with an amazing "five star albergue" - a posh 3 bedroom flat with kitchen, washing machine etc, all completely free (the owner is an expert on and enthusiast for the Sureste). This morning I was out and en route by 7.30, in the dark, and passed the amazing Gaudiesque (by his pupil José Sala Sala) Santuario de Santa María Magdalena just as the first rays of sun were hitting it. Not sure how to go on - the others in Novelda were doing the Lana via Alpera, Cuenca, and Santo Domingo de Silos, which is very tempting, but I do want to see Toledo. If I get to Medina del Campo I will definitely carry on on the Sureste to Tordesilas and Benavente, avoiding duplicating more than one day of last year's brief bit on the Levante.[ATTACH=full]14507[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]14508[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14507[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14508[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
