Day 43 Salamanca - El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino

Today we had decided to have a relatively quiet relaxed day and only walk about 10 miles.  In the end we did about 22!  We started around 0700 and we reached our destination for the day at 1100.  We thought we could do better and set off to try and finish at El Cubo.  It was a mistake!

While the first 10 miles had been very pleasant, walking along fields of Barley and Wheat, the next 12 were either on or alongside the N630.  Just mile after mile of roads.  No trees, no shade and no bars on the way!  The only respite we had was stopping to talk to Robin at Brooklands FM Radio for our weekly live broadcast.

Eventually we staggered into El Cubo at around 6.00p.m.

I am glad to say that after a good shower at our Albergue, we enjoyed a communal meal with the other walkers to round off a very tiring day. Everyone mucked in to make spaghetti and salad!  I must say we enjoy getting together with the others every evening to compare notes and have a laugh or two,

Tomorrow we have another hard day with about 18/19 miles ahead of us.  Which reminds me.....I have to go to bed!.........see you tomorrow
