To Embalse de Alcantara 21km Stage 6

September 17

Today's trek took us through a barren farmland of very dry rocky terrain. It is an area with many sheep farms and there was evidence along the way with many droppings on the path. The rock formations were huge and the wind and weather erosion has created some strange formations. This was almost a good day for trekking. In the morning it was overcast and very comfortable walking. However in the last hour of the trek there was a down-pour of rain. We got soaked. After an hour of arriving to our Albergue the sun came out drying up all the rain. (Sounds like the itsy bitsy spider nursery rhyme) But what a beautiful location! The Albergue sits on the hillside with a spectacular view of the lake.
