Day 168
4 hrs, 5
.0 kms
Today I'm going to catch a bus across the Guadalquivir to extend my exploration of the westside suburbs. Back in 2010 I visited 7 suburbs in this area in the searing summer heat. Today I'm going to hike in pleasant winter weather. It feels like heaven, strolling through lush green countryside towards my first town, Palomares del Rio, enjoying the cool sunny weather.
Palomares is a white town clustered on a gentle ridge. Not quite historical or modern--sort of in between. Supposedly there are some old Arab baths here somewhere, but I can't seem to find them. I enjoy a pleasant strum session on the shady park/plaza, then continue on down the road.
