Colmenar to Villanueva del Cauche

Colmenar to Villanueva del Cauche, 15 km - Hotel Las Pedrizas

We had a good 15 km walk today... Nice sunshine but (same old story) lots of wind. We were walking on paved roads all day - we even ate lunch on the shoulder of the road - but we did see lots of olive groves and little cortijos, and there wasn't much traffic. Now we are at a very friendly small hotel, Las Pedrizas, in the middle of nowhere where you have to wear all your clothes inside and huddle inside your sleeping bag under the covers to try to keep warm. It's right on the autovía, not in a village, so not much atmosphere, and the view from our window is that of a huge parking lot, but we are grateful to have a roof over our heads.Read more
