"Zorita de los Canes is located on a bend in the Tagus, next to useless pillars of a bridge that was never built, surrounded by fields of hemp and pitch in the shadow of the castle ruins of the Order of Calatrava. From the castle left standing a wall, two or three arches and a couple of vaults. It is strategically situated on a rocky hill, hard to climb. In its slope, the back, two shepherds kept a herd of goats, one of the shepherds, sitting on a rock, recording a Cudgel Ash at knifepoint while another, sitting on the green grass is tested in drawing whistles from a reed flute. "
Pastrana Leaving too late, just after 10 am. We have breakfast in peace, then we went to the hotel by bike and we've gone out to buy some babas typical of the area ... I'm still staying with the La Torre and La Gloria, perhaps I have grown up with the taste. Pastrana At last we left, slowly, slowly, and almost reluctantly, and still in sight Paco Pastrana returns to mix. We repaired the puncture of the previous days, so we have no parts and no patch to put the camera flat. Half an hour later we return to get started.
Today we have people just passing through, and the road is heavy. Virtually everything has been track, and almost all in good condition.
In Zorita de los Canes stopped to drink water and continue along the banks of the Tagus River Reservoir Almoguera direction. We were rationing water, because the last 15 kilometers we have not seen human life. We arrived at Almoguera, by the steep slope that passes through the Hermitage, where there seems to be some celebration. Just when we we are collecting and people headed to the town, some on foot and in cars. Paco stops to ask if there is water there, and I'm still going to town. 
In the plaza, right next to the fountain was too busy. Thirst drove me to the fountain, and behind the water pipe was another pipe ... this beer. I asked would you rather that spout or this? ... and invited me to a beer. When Paco was invited to the next. A little further on were the people in line to take his plate of stew that was ready. Are the people at parties and on Ermita was the procession of Christ. The band with the queens of the party went down the street. Those responding to the stew are the same as in Budia met two days ago, and went to greet them again. At the end we did not eat the stew, and we went to eat something at a nearby bar.
From Almoguera to Almoguera Well there are about 6 miles, all uphill and very hot. The flies are very, very heavy around here, they stick to you, you try to get everywhere you take them off and return again and again. Top heat is unbearable. In Pozo fill the bottle and got wet a little and went towards Mondéjar. They are also at parties, all the people prepared for the bulls. Tonight there is something like a "skateboard" that should be a skate contest or something. Then we'll see.
