Last night in Oliva de Plasencia, we were all kind of stuck, since there was no restaurant in the whole town. There was not even a mercado. All there was in this small village was a small tiende (corner store). We all pitched in to buy enough stuff for a spaghetti dinner, as well as supplies for breakfast. It was ok but I hope we don't have to do that much. I cooked up the bacon and eggs for breakfast, and then we set out on our trek on the Roman road, which today included a stretch thru the Roman arch of Cáparra. It was kind of awe inspiring, seeing the remnants of this Roman town out in the middle of nothing. The walk there was very pleasant in the morning, walking thru farmland and forest to get there. One huge estate had an impressive set of bull heads at it's entrance gates. (See pics) After the Roman arch, there was still 24 km's to go in order to get to Aldeanueva del Camino. This walked was very hot and long. The paths covered in large stones are the most difficult, as they roll around under your feet as you are trying to walk. Anyway we ended up at a very respectable. Alberque tonight. Tomorrow will be an easy day of just 15 km's. Here are today's trail pics. Terry
