Carratraca to El Burgo

Carratraca to El Burgo, 23 km - Hotel La Casa Grande

Wow! We made it...23 km...through rain and mist...following cairns when the trail disappeared. We are really proud of ourselves. This is almost as long as the longest walk I have ever done. That was 17 miles (27 km) in Glacier National Park without a pack when I was 21. So today's nearly 15 miles with a pack at age 66 made me feel like I am in good shape. We started before it even got light, just in case, and made it to El Burgo in 8.5 hours. Ronda is next, 27 km. Along the way today, we came to an abandoned marble quarry, so of course we thought of the marble altar with the crack in it at Our lady of the Rock Monastery. (Note: the video of the lambs is from yesterday. Too cute to leave out!)Leia mais
