Saturday 14 October Hot, very hot

QB with heat exhaustion; Camino with nothing; a shorter stage between towns, just over 18 km.

Nothing.  Either the beauty or horror, depending upon your point of view, of the Meseta in this section.

Think Sierra Madre with QB as Eli Wallace searching for the goal/gold, except here it is a known town.  Think of the mountains replaced by endless plains with searing heat.

Think of the heat beating down.   Here is QB before the worst. 

No wildlife but did see one small patch of green.

A roadside rest stop.  No services but a bit. of shade to eat a bit of food from this am.

A view from the rest stop.  Might be able to just see the absolutely still windmills, 25 or so, in the distance.

The town, about 150 meters long, has an albergue with a hostel to stay at.  Same management.  And yet…

The one star has the best WiFi we have had since the beginning.  Has an elevator. Friendly.  A decent ice cream dispenser, we had three along with two beers.
