• Mota del Cuervo to El Toboso; 12 km

    February 25 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Today we take a shorter walk between vineyards and a single olive grove in slightly more uneven terrain. Every now and then we see small trees whose names I can't quite pinpoint. Fruit trees? But what then? Not oranges, because they still have leaves.

    I read yesterday that this region is the largest in the world in terms of vineyard area. All of Australia has only half of what they have here. Previously, it was often about quantity, but in recent years they've also been investing in quality.

    Just after noon, we enter El Toboso. Debi didn't need to go any longer, because just before El Toboso, the pain in her foot flares up again. 12 km seems to be the tipping point.

    We immediately visit the information center to ask how we can reschedule the bus route so we don't have to get out of bed at five o'clock in the morning. There's a solution.
    If we take the bus to Madrid and then the train to Toledo, than we can be in Toledo tonight. We decide to follow that advice.
