27 May, 2010 - Guillena to Castilblanco

Sporadic, jet-lagged sleep, so left Guillena early and headed out over river. The Germans were ahead, but they went left to the road and I went right to a track after the river. Walked through farms to an industrial village. Stopped for coffee at 7am in a funny little bar in a tin shed. The men in the bar seemed to be drinking the out of the same sized glasses, but bourbon. The Germans arrived but they don't speak much English or Spanish. Met up with Yuri the Italian at the round about and walked through the industrial area to a laneway. Through farms, up and down through a hunting area. Sound of shot guns in the bushes in the distance. Passed by tractors and blokes on motor bikes with guns. Last 4km in along a busy main road. Arrived in Castilblanco de Arroyos about midday. Albergue upstairs in government building with internet and facilities for disabled people. Nice rooms with roof area. Huge thunderstorm in afternoon.
