Alquife to Guadix

Today was harder than expected. Especially the last 10 km. I saw the sun rise again, about half an hour after leaving Alquife. And some deer near a lake. I walked through the small town Jerez del Marquesado, then up and over a hill to Cogollos de Guadix. I found the bar and a well earned coffee. Today is Spains National Day, a public holiday, so there are lots of people around. Apparently the holiday commemorates when Colombus arrived in the Americas.
I was promised a down hill all the way to Guadix, but the path had been covered in very thick, light gravel, so was tough going. Eventually I arrived in Guadix, with quite a long walk through the cave area to find the Casando de la Luz.Läs mer
