[Trip log] Day 10: Trujillo - Castuera












hola people,
Today we had a relatively short day, however the days are getting harder and harder becase of the heat! I also was so tired last night and missed my dinner, didnt have my breakfast so about 30 min into the ride i almost collapsed, so had to take a break and stuff myself with lots and lots of sugar! although like i said the day was relatively short it seemed to go on for ever. At some point we are going up a hill, the sun is right above us, its 3pm and we are both overheating! we are 4K outside Castuera and there is no way we can make it unless we have a little break, but we cant find a single shade!!! so Pedro luckily found a construction site and we went there and sat under their machines! until a few minutes later the workers came back from their lunch break and had a REALLY good laugh when we told them were we came from and were we are going! i think one of them mamde a comment like, yeah i´ve been to Malaga with the car and it was really far away!! cheers!!!
Finally arrived in Castuera, had the obligatory shower & nap in that order before we could explore the town. It is a nice small town, all white houses and not touristic at all! We had a hard time finding somewhere to eat, so after a stroll around the town and buying some supplies from the supermarket we ended up having dinner at the hostel (which wasn't bad). Taking lessons from the previous night, that I didn't eat enough for dinner, I had the biggest, most humongous steak in the entire universe! (accompanied with some gorgeous garlicy green beans!)
