• Albacete to la Roda by train

    February 21 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Tonight we sleep in hotel Juanito in La Roda. We kind of forgot why we didn’t go to the Municipal Albergue as the day we reserved this place was a bit hectic.
    At the hotel we had to ask for a different room than we got first. They tried to mask the cigarette smell with some sort of detergent but it just was awful. The second room was luckily much better. ~Gerard

    We had a short 20 minute train ride and entered the town to almost immediately happen on the carnival parade. It is the last day of carnival. What luck! And I was briefly recruited to join the parade and help pull a mat full of little mice! Thanks to our short walking day, we will have some energy tonight to go out and enjoy more of the festivities.

    Also, we see that this town is known for its puff pastries, and our hotel is nicely located a few doors from a nice bakery. Not sure that our 17.5 km walk today is going to compensate for today’s treat intake!
