We were on the road 2 hours earlier than yesterday but still an hour behind all of the other trekkers. Clearly we need some work in this area. Tomorrow I'll have to set the alarm. A fairly long day tomorrow - 29 km - so we need an earlier start.
Today's walk was very nice, mostly through a nature reserve. The weather the past 2 days has been perfect for walking. Sunny with a refreshing breeze. Almost all points north of us have been getting rain; snow in the far north and highlands. We climbed from about sea level this morning to almost 400 meters. ( This would be a good time to talk about units of measurement. Everything I see here is metric, so I'm going to leave the math up to you). Its noticeably cooler up here. The city put in a pilgrim refuge above one of the municipal buildings and that is where we're staying. It is a dorm setup with shared bathrooms. But we do have a seat on the toilet, although we gave up hot water. Its supposed to work, but... so is a lot of stuff. No complaints though, for 2 € per night per person. No complaints from me anyway. Conchi refused to shower. I would have too had I known the water was cold.
Anyway, they also provide this blazingly fast internet access for free. On balance, I'd stay a few nights here if we had the time. The town itself is small, but has most everything you'd need. Fairly quiet, too. Not congested. There's a lot going on in Sevilla, but I prefer the pace in these pueblos.
