[QUOTE="Fuertebrazos, post: 1077138, member: 98316"] Day 0 Seville Day 1 Guillena Day 2 Castillo Blanco Day 3 Almaden de la Plata Day 4 El Real de la Jara Day 5 Monastario Day 6 Fuente de Cantos Day 6: Lay in bed and wrote emails until about 8 am, then wandered downstairs for churros and cafe con leche. A big concrete basin outside had been relatively dry when I turned in but was overflowing when I emerged in the morning. Serious rain last night. Today was gorgeous, at least most of it. Big sky country, with pastureland and plowed fields out to the horizon. Early, clouds and a few streaks of blue; by 2 pm, all blue with just a few streaks of clouds. Stiff wind behind me from the south. At the moment, Extremadura is pretty green. More pigs. Cow pies along the road. A deer bounded across a high fence and disappeared into some trees. Met a local with a big, friendly dog. I gestured at the sky and said "Hermoso día, sin lluvia," and he smiled and held up crossed fingers. Let's hope it stays that way. When you get farther north, he said, you'll see plenty of rain. A local on a bike stopped and asked me if I was okay. That's when I realized I must look like a mess, climbing over the hills slowly with wild hair and couple of walking poles. Saturday afternoon in Fuente de Cantos is time to party. Restaurant full, hotel bar packed with noisy drunks. Washed clothes in the sink, pushed open the door at the top of the stairs, set up a clothesline on the roof, and managed to get most of my clothes dry before the rain started to pour. Weather tomorrow looks dubious. But the forecast for rain was 100% today and it didn't start until 7 pm, when I was lying on a bed reading my phone. So hopefully tomorrow will be fine. Pilgrims today: 2. Couple of German guys on heavily laden mountain bikes, one with a bunch of corgis on his T-shirt and some Japanese script. They said they would see me in Fuente de Cantos. Not likely unless they have mechanical problems. They were moving pretty fast. [/QUOTE]
