Fuenterobles to San Pedro de Rozado

Distance: 29 km / 17.5 mi

It is a killer day ahead.
It is 7 am and we are getting up to begin an 18 mile day.
A quarry that we passed along the way.  At first I thought it was a mountain face.
One of many roman milage markers along the way.
The day started with an 9 mile hike to Pico de Los Duenos.  A lot of it can tax the unprepared soul.
Passed this bull as we crossed thru a ranch.  We left him in peace.
On the way up to Pico de Los Duenos. It is a windmill farm with a special twist.
And this is Jos, dutchman with whom I had a great day hiking.
Jos and I doing selfies.
One of a series of crosses being placed by the local priest,  Don Blas, for the pilgrims as a testament to the sacrifice of Christ and the trials of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago.
Pico de Duenos is also a big windmill farm.
Cross of Christ, at an altitude of 1150 meters,  the highest point on the Via de La Plata.
Like the scene from Titanic, "Ì'm flying.
Jos told me about his time in South Africa where he would go to an overlook for Kruger park,  which led a lot like this view to San Pedro de Rozado
Around 15 miles in,  and we still have 3 miles along the road to San Pedro de Rozada to go.
Some spectacular views.
