21km Aljucen to Alcuescar

We passed from the province of Badajoz to the province of Caceres today, and in so doing, we passed the quarter-way mark. Sevilla is 259 km behind us, and Santiago de Compostela 741 km ahead.

The terrain today was beautiful, even moreso because it was shrouded in fog until noon. Once we left Aljucen,the path was along a dirt track through wooded pastures. Cows and sheep all over the place.

Our lodging tonight is in a home for the destitute run by the Hermanos Esclavos de Maria y Pobres. (The Slave Brothers of Mary and the Poor) They don't charge anything for dinner and lodging, but I'm happy to make a generous donation.

We're near Caceres, at which point we've decided to take a break for a few days.
