Out on the road, the weather is fine and settled for the week ahead in this region. The mountains of Gredos still visible and will only drop from view tomorrow when I reach Trujullio.
Whilst the ride was great, the opportunities for coffee along the way is limited. Water being an essential item for the ride, you can see that I made a detour to top up.
Hotel was on the main plazza at my destination. Two restaurants in town but out of business. So food was bread, ham and tortilla from a small shop.
Check in was a pain. I had to cycle outside of town to collect the key (see second map!)
This is a farming area. Here we have tobacco and Chilies. I had no idea that baccy was grown here until I see a sign stating that one town I passed through was the tobacco capital of Spain!
Looking at this picture. I am longing for a massive bowl of Chile Con Carne!
Some more pictures of view along the route.
Sadly fires area issue in Spain. It looks like the firefighters were quick to contain the fire as this is only a small area damaged.
And finally, sunset at the town with no eating places.
