DAY 33 - RESTING IN MEDINA DEL CAMPO

Ana Maria's foot is still swollen, but less painful. This morning we took a 19 minute train journey to Medina del Campo, where we have booked an hotel and where we will stay for another 24 hours or until Ana Maria can continue walking. Our thanks to Miriam, the weekend hotel receptionist in Arevalo, who drove us to the station in her own car to ensure we got the train on time. There are only two taxis in Arevalo and they obviously do not get up early on a Saturday morning. This is Spain after all!

Medina is celebrating its patron, Saint Anthony with various activities today including a procession from the church earlier today and a horse fair this evening. Medina is steeped in history. It is where Queen Isabel La Catolica lived, where she made her last will and testament and where she died.
