Not as misty as the past few days. Two days at the Parador was very relaxing. Its a government owned chain which started nearly 100 years ago. Whilst I did not know at the time, the Parador I cycled past in the Gredos Hills was the first one to be opened. Normally 4 star standard, not cheap, but always interesting buildings.
A flat start
Interesting “Glorietta” showcasing mile stones and construction plant.
So, there I was cycling along the road. Spotted a flock of animals. Then spotted a field of Melons (Have not seen melons being grown in Spain before). Then the flock started to march across the crops. In some countries, livestock damaging crops lead to serious wars between tribes!
In the mist you can see big hills in the background. My destination is behind those hills.
I really hate big climbs at the end of a ride This was in fact an unnecessary hill as I plugged in a duff location as a waypoint, so ended up about 3KM from my hotel. Duh! Anyhow this is looking down over Puertollano and ex mining city.
