Day 2 from Guillena to Castilblanco de los Arroyos

7 december 2016

Yesterday evening after dinner I went back to the Albergue. The innkeeper told me that he send away the spanisch pilgrim. He was drunk and was rude. So he had to leave with left me alone in the bedroom. I was sure no snorring would keep me awake.
The alarm went off at7:30. But I stayed in bed for another hour.
Later I went to the bar I had dinner for some breakfast. Coffee con Leche with some toast, tomatoes and smoked ham. Only for 2,20 euros.
I packed my rucksack and started walking about, 9:30. Only 18km to go. So plenty of time.
After half an hour I left the builded area into the fields covered with olive and orange trees.
Beautiful sceneries and quietness. No people. Just one farmer passing on a tractor.
After some kilometers the path got harder. Stones, mud and gravel. The track was obviously flushed by heavy rain earlier this week.
But the sun was shining, the soil drying.
Hopping from left to tight, avoiding holes and bigger rocks a kept on going for about 3 hours. I sepose this track should be much easier in summer. Although with temperatures above 38 degrees centigrade nothing is easy.
After a short picknick on a rock I walked the last 5,kilometers and entered Castilblanco de los Arroyos. I went to the gasstation to pick up the key from the Albergue. But during winter it's closed. I could have known. It's in the book.
So I walked a little further and found a nice hotel. A nice room with balcony and bath for only 18 euros.
The weather is still very good. Sunny and warm.... I am a happy man.. Cheers
