[QUOTE="alansykes, post: 251788, member: 9811"] If La Gineta was a disappointment, La Roda was a DELIGHT. 20 easy km over slightly less dull landscape and into a lively town with some very fine secular and religious architecture, mudéjar elements in the parish church and plateresque bits in some of the grander old buildings. The albergue (donativo) was great, it's in the infirmary inside the Plaza de Toros. 2 rooms each with two comfortable beds, presumably there in case a matador gets gored. None of my friends will believe that I slept in a bullring. Another surprise of La Roda was its miguelitos, a delicious sweet millefeuille with creamy insides and a tendency is explode icing sugar over you when you bit into it. The next day was longer, but leaving La Roda at 7am meant that I was in the Posada del Reloj in San Clemente having a delicious menú del día by 3.30pm, having had well placed pauses for zumo half way and a caña 3/4s of the way. San Clemente is almost better than La Roda, if possible. Similar impressive secular buildings, and the parish church has a fine collection of renaissance and later sculpture, including a very fine pietà, and a quarter-sized Santiago matamoros, or rather matamoros as there was only one, and he'd lost his sword so it looked as if the fierce horse was doing most of the mata. Opposite the church, in the old town hall, was a surprising modern art gallery, with a colourful room full of works by Guillaume Corneille, much of the A of CoBrA. Not what I was expecting to see in the La Mancha prairie. The albergue is a pleasant flat just by the camino on the way out of town, two bedrooms and a sitting room, free. [/QUOTE]
