day 27: Venta de Moro to Albacete






60 miles again.........
We had a very hilly morning in the Hoces del Cabriel Natural Park, making our way to the province of Albacete... and into La Mancha! Don Quixote country. We´re very excited about that because tomorrow we´re going to follow the 'camino de don quixote', a nice, flat (hopefully) cycling path!
Anyway, we were climbing for about four hours and then suddenly found ourselves on a flat plain that led all the way to Albacete... a very strange sensation, having expected a nice long descent following our strenuous climb!
But we´re here now, staying in a hostal and about to go to some fancy shops for window shopping. Here is a pretty picture of Claire showing off her tan in the main square!
Hasta luego!

p.s. this is where we´re heading tomorrow!

Hi Matt and Claire
We love reading about your hills and olives - you both look frighteningly fit and we are full of admiration for your cycling feat! Scenery looks spectacular - Dad is very jealous and wants to come too - perhaps another year? Hope the rest of the trip through Spain goes well without too many grumpy campsite owners.
Love Mummy and Emma
