Carcaboso to Aldeanueva del Camino about 38 kn

Carcaboso to Aldeanueva del Camino via Caparra about 38 km.  Set off at 7 as usual heading for Caparra with the intention of a snack at Caparra and then stopping about 7 km befor AdC. Caparra is the remains of an old roman town and the visitor centre has food and drink. Unfortunately, it was closed! Even the local Spanish guy that was with me for the last 10 Km was surprised. Site is nothing special if you see those in Italy. In fact the 'famous' Caparra arch is insignificant compared to the Roman arch on the outskirts of Napoli which cars drive through every day. So carried on walking.  Today's walk was probably one of the best so far for track and scenery. Lots of meadows and the snow capped mountains getting closer. Got to the point where I was going to turn off towards a hostel but was feeling good so carried on to AdC. Got here at 1415 and it's probably the pretties village so far. AdP is excellent so all I need now is some beer and a large steak! I met a Brit couple last night and she has a damaged knee so can't walk far at the moment and therefore got her by taxi. Her husband is walking but evidently has got a bit lost and does not expect to arrive until after 1900 - that's a long day. Up the hills tomorrow so I hope it stays dry.  Had a bit of a blow out on my shorts so now I need socks as well as short! They've only done about 2500 km !
