Day 11: Baños de Graena to La Peza

Eleventh stage, from Baños de Graena to La Peza. A short 10.3km more or less pleasant.
We leave Baños on the road, passing through Graena where nothing is moving this Sunday morning.
After about 3km, we follow a rambla, which gets narrower and narrower.
2.5km of rambla, and the rest of the stage is on the road. Under a sun that doesn't hit too hard, fortunately.
Along the way, we cross the mojón that tells us we've been walking for 150km.
Finally we arrive at La Peza.
Paco, a volunteer of the Asociación Jacobea de Almería-Granada in Guadix, challenges us to find the cannon that the villagers used to divert the French army (quite a story!), and a cruceiro. Challenge accepted!
The albergue was handed over from the Ayuntamiento to the Asociación Jacobea de Almería-Granada recently. The volunteers have done a great job in cleaning the albergue and making it habitable. It is a pity that pilgrims still have to be reminded to take out the rubbish, to contribute to the upkeep of this accommodation.Read more
