Day 13: Tocón de Quéntar to Quéntar

Day 13, from Tocón de Quéntar to Quéntar, 15.5km.
Those who walk from La Peza to Quéntar in one day, i.e. without going through Tocón de Quéntar, don't have the pleasure of doing the steep climb that will take us back to the Camino this morning. And what a climb it is!
Another beautiful stage, with superb landscapes. Flowers, beautiful pine trees, some cut to extract the sap, views of the Sierra Nevada, a quarry of what looks like marble but isn't, a descent to Quéntar where you can see Granada in the distance, all of which made this stage a wonderful day.
Last year we stayed at the Quéntar hotel, today we are staying at the private albergue Fundalucia, which offers a pool that is slowly filling up. Comfortable, not exclusively used by pilgrims, it has private rooms.
We thought of you, Annie, as we went through the quarry. We hope your shoulder is getting better.Read more
