Day 20: Alfarnatejo to Ventas de Zaffaraya 18k (inc deviation)
By Tom and Chica, 16th February, 2020
Written by Tom’s wife.
We had a very long but really enjoyable day today. Unfortunately, I took a wrong turn early on, which meant a lot more mileage and hill climbing to get back to where we should have been.
However, it was interesting and I got to meet lots of people including a chap from Derbyshire who gave me the right directions. Then a couple of old ladies at a fuente who confirmed that I was now going the right way. After that, a group of young Spanish women walking the other way who told me how far I had to go. Which was slightly deflating.
When I reached Ventas de Zaffaraya at 7pm, I decided the prudent thing to do was to go to the first bar I saw and rehydrate. This was Hotel/Bar Aqui te Queiro (I love you here??). I asked about places to stay as hostel next door appeared closed. The owner was located though, and she spoke English – always a relief at the end of the day when I can barely string a sentence together, even in my own language. Shower and comfy bed beckons. Joy!

I guess you mean the pilas or drinking troughs, Susan. It’s the only photograph with water in it!

Would love to just be able to pick a pomegranate, and loved that they leave NO trace after packing up camp… 🙂
