Day 4 - Pineda de la Sierra to Salas

This holiday - sorry trip - just gets better and better - for cowboys that is ! There is something about sleeping under a starry starry night by a river - rabbit BBQing on an open fire - counting shooting stars in the sky . And then there is camping 'au savage'. This is true boys stuff - unfortunately I've got the wife with me !
I've been carrying these flicking sleeping bags for years - like an insurance policy - waiting for the perfect moment . And here it was !
Not that we didn't try to find somewhere to stay - but there comes a point when you have to except the inevitable . Anyway - as I pointed out to her - it was a beautiful night - we had a bar to drink at, a restaurant to eat in - and a river to pitch by . And it was . I slept like a log - helped by copious amounts of Spanish brandy. On waking I discovered she apparently hadn't slept at all, having been attacked by ants spiders and wild creatures and accusing me of hogging all the soft grass! Oh well there you go!
We started the day with a 1450 meter climb over the Sierra's - not a car or cyclist to be seen - apart from one . More about Alberto tomorrow . Anyway - we did the long descend into Salas leaving the beautiful Sierras behind .... for a well deserved shower and loo !!! CU
PS - photo not clear - thank god - me 'skinney dipping' inthe river .
