DAY 8: OCT 13 VILLA FRANCA DE LOS BARROS TO TORREMEGIA (28 KM) 36,620 STEPS

Kilometer after kilometer of grape vines interspersed with groves of olive trees made this a flat boring day. Boredom was broken by occasional groups of workers harvesting grapes and olives.

Note that there are no trellises for the grape vines that go on forever.

These olive harvesters wanted me to take their photo....so I did.


This guy was happily doing it the old fashioned way.

The only excitement was how to traverse an elevated railway line underpass that was compltely flooded.

Note the yellow arrow on the wall of the underpass.

We were surprised to meet the Dutch couple in Torremejia. We all got together to have dinner at a local bar. The price seemed excessive but Marcel, who speaks excellent Spanish, managed to get us a discount.
