The terrain too was in sharp contrast with the previous day's. Gone were the arid lands, giving way to an expanse of arable lands and trees, giving a fair amount of shade from time to time. We made very good time and arrived in Villena some six hours later. The town boasts one of the most important Gothic style churches in Spain and a splendid castle.
Along the way we saw our first poppies, a reminder of all those who fell in both world wars to ensure we could live in freedom today. Thank you. Rest in peace.
