Guillena to Amardillo

11/2/2012 

Ah, out of guillena and onto the road. Lucky for me the sun is kept at bay by some very welcomed clouds. To the next town of castilloblanco lies some more demanding, but kinda fun dirt track, and a lot of it. You'll defiantly think it's more than 20 ks. But the albergue is pretty nice with free Internet in the lower level. Out of Castillo, its All road riding for about 15 ks. More or less peaceful but then the real treat. About 15 is through the Sierra Norte parque natural or so they call it. Very nice until of course the uber steep climb right before the pleasant town of almeden.  Again the albergue is pretty good, no complaints here, especially cause I've got it almost entirely to mua.  I did however manage to get locked out, and before 9!  No worries, it's nothing buzzer the bell and hammering on the door for 10 minutes can't fix. "oh I'm sorry. Did I wake you up at 8:45 to open the door u never souldve locked in the first place!?  Why out so late I hear u ask? I had the fortunate oppurtunity to stay in this pueblo during their what would seem to be first trick o treat.  Yes,

I saw little kids dressed up knocking on doors only to have the residents turn them away empty handed. Ha, not on my watch I declare. So to the shop I go ready and willing to buy the biggest bag of Halloween candy I can find. Humm, looks like I'll have to settle for two bags of unfrozen bag Popsicles. And I have to say it wasn't easy finding 24 worthy candidates to enjoy the splendor of sugary goodness. I have to enjoy 8 of then my self and that's after chasing every person who even slightly resembled displaying a little Halloween spirit. What are you? A Spanish farmer!?  Great! Here's a Popsicle. You'll have to freeze it first.
