Today was one of those days when you think you have a relatively short day ahead and then you find they've changed the route and it's actually 26 Kms and not 21kms! That said it was a nice and varied day. First a really steep descent for several hundred meters along a narrow slippery rocky track. Later through a beautiful and tranquil forest with a really good track.
Later in the morning we arrived at the Toros de Guisando, stone statues of bulls thought to be of Celtic origins and predate Roman occupation in Spain. This spot was chosen to name Princess Isabel the successor to the throne of Castille and Leon in 1482.
We ended the day by crossing two medieval bridges and then enduring a really steep climb up an never-ending concrete road to reach Cebreros, completely exhausted! Tomorrow we leave for San Bartolome de Pinares, our final stop before Avila.
