29km Tabara to Santa Croya de Tera

This should have been a 20km day, but we deviated from the route to avoid some serious mud and ended up adding some serious kilometers.  The albergue is wonderful, though.  The best we've encountered so far.  Family run and exquisitely appointed.  They also made dinner, and I'm hoping breakfast, too.

The family owns a bodega near by, as do most families in the area.  They are carved into the limestone and are completely subterranean.  We went for a visit and a glass of wine, and I've never seen anything like it. Private caves carved into the earth to ferment and store your own personal vintages.

Tomorrow should be a short day.  We need one, especially after adding about 9 unnecessary km to today's walk.  Once again, we had to walk for a few hours in the rain, but the afternoon turned out quite nice.
