Another clear blue sky with blazing sunshine.  Another undulating road.  The first 30 km are somewhat spoilt by heavy traffic, however, we are then able to pick up what turns out to be an absolute gem of a road.  It is tiny, smooth and virtually traffic free.  It makes it´s way through rolling green hills and the air is thick with the scent of rock roses.  We have left Andalucia behind and move into Castilla La Mancha.

For the second day in a row we come upon a ‘Hostal’ exactly at the right moment – this one is in a different class altogether.  It is a beautiful stone building that originally was a flour mill.  Hot water and beds – double bliss (unfortunately still no WiFi).

PS Ken is still playing ‘hunt the squeak’.
