Rock Roses - they smell like incense when wet!
The walk to Galisteo was about 22km. The weather had improved, although it was wet underfoot. My shoes were soaked in record time. Even after I stopped to change socks later on they got wet quickly. At one stage we had to cross a stream which was somewhat flooded, so the last five or six kilometres were made in wet shoes. Not very pleasant!
Galisteo is a medieval town, complete with defensive walls and an 11th century church. Unfortunately it was closed so I couldn't get in to have a look. The town has expanded outside the walls. We're staying in the new part at a quite nice Albergue. I had dinner when I arrived - at 3.00 o'clock! A plate of tasty beans with chorizo and bacon for the first course and fries with pigs' cheek stew for seconds. It was delicious. And a dish of yogurt for pud. All this for €9.50 - $15.50.
