10km Aldeanueva to Baños de Montemayor

April 15, 2007
 
We woke up feeling pretty beat up from yesterday's 38km walk and questioned our original intention to walk the 23km to Calzada de Bejar.  We set out mid-morning having decided to make the call when we reached Baños de Montemayor, the next town.  Once underway and limbered up, we felt pretty good.  By the time we hit Baños, we were torn between pushing on or staying.  Since I was down to 20€, I went to the ATM for cash and it was out of service.  Turns out it was the only ATM in town and it was Sunday afternoon, so we were stuck.  We wouldn't be passing through another town with an ATM until Salamanca four days later.  So the decision to stay put was made for us.  We found a hotel and restaurant that accepted VISA and hunkered down until the bank opened the next morning.  Not a bad place to be stuck, and we got a mess of laundry done.
