18km. Another hot day, probably up to 34C today. Slightly more shade than yesterday, but unfortunately Greg was feeling unwell today … so we can rule out the tapas as he didn’t eat any! I am feeling much better, thankfully. … Continue reading →

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Judy

14km. Late start to the day because we wanted to have a look at the Roman Museum next door to the albergue, and it didn’t open until 10am. Well worth a visit, with lots of artifacts from the Roman villa … Continue reading →
