Torremejia to Aljucen about 30kms

The municipal AdP in Torremejia was excellent as was the suckling pig. Headed off for Merida at 0715 and walked along the ( dry) track which was well marked. Arrived at 1015 and enjoyed the 2000 year old roman bridge into the city but was surprised that the pilgrim route did not go over the other Roman bridge next to the aqueduct. Route to the embalse de prosperina was clear and stopped for a while when my Estonia walking companion for the day went for a swim!  It was warm. Lovely and clearly marked route to Aljucen and now in the excellent AdP Rio Aljucen.  Please note that there is now a brand new AdP in El carrascalejo complete with phone number for the key.  It's about 13.5km from Merida. Plan to go to the Roman baths tonight. Off to Aldea del Cano in the morning which is about 35km. The 30 today went well so should be a good stroll. One of the joys of the Camino is the surprises. Today it was a man with a cart and two mules coming into the AdP! Only problem was the cart was too high to get. Didn't believe me at first when I said to reduce the tyre pressure but now it's in.
