Not much to write about today. It was a nice ride, rolling hills of farmland with cows and cotton fields dominating the landscape.

We arrived in Las Arcos another pretty Andalucían town and found the Tourist Information office who gave me a list hotels, but no campsites. The tourist offices do not call the hotels for you to see if there are any vacancies, you have to do it yourself. It can be very interesting, if the person at the hotel doesn’t speak English. However, I am getting quite good at asking if they have any double rooms available and how much it costs. Ralf was stunned into silence as a I chatted away in Spanish to the woman on the phone and reserved us a room at another cheap hotel. He was very proud of me and told me several times how impressed he was with my language skills.

This hotel has a terrace where we could cook our dinner.

Although it was an easy ride, for some reason we were both tired and had a siesta. As we are now headed for the coast, we are hoping to find some campsites. Tomorrow in Vejer, there are supposed to be five campsites.
