Neil: After a lengthy ride yesterday with a punishing finish, I had only one thing in mind a beer in fact I had two, abandoning Ceri !
Today started with a climb up to 1089m. Planning this we thought let’s not go far. This plan worked very well. Breakfast was not provided we have to make up ourselves. We buy milk and use our plastic cups for cereal and use a little element heater in water to make tea. Can’t waste milk so I polished it off! Must have worked well as the 300 metre ascent went well. Poza de La Sal is a fascinating village. As the name suggests it was once under the sea so the whole mountain is full of salt . They pump ordinary water at the top and pick up salt water at the bottom. It’s then dried and sold. I had expected at the top to go down the other side but no onto a plateau. Many many wind turbines. Very easy cycling. Lunch and a snooze and we are soon at our destination. A tiny village, the lady will cook for us. We are making our own Camino but guided by others experience. We have used the book below quite a lot, a hilariously account of 4 people who make lots of mistakes with food and water and probably drink too much. Accordingly we have not really met anyone doing a Camino. Tomorrow we shall be heading towards the main Camino. Not sure how we will feel joining lots of others . Both Ceri and I love not knowing where we are going in terms of scenery and places to stay. We book up a day or two in advance usually
