A lot roadside but that was OK since the landscape and the road was changing as the kilometers passed. Eventually I reached the entry of the nature park “El Barrocal” and entered through the gate. Beautiful. A lot of cork oaks the first part.Later not that beautiful and I started to get tired with the warmth from the sun. Sat down under a tree and slept a while. Then continued up towards the steep hill/mountain “Cerro de Calvario” (Scull). For me in my state, not feeling entirely well, it became a hard test and I had difficulties in getting up. But I did and sat down on a rock to rest.
Then another person came up the same way. After some words I understood that he was a journalist on a local newspaper in “Malaga”. And furthermore a Swede!! Suddenly I puked just in front of him. He believed that I had got heatstroke. I did more believe in bad water that had had given me stomach problems. I immediately got much better having got rid of what caused the problem. Later I always cleaned the water bag in my backpack each day instead of just filling up with water.
The journalist and I continued downhill. However, he had ordered a hotel room and went there while I continued to the albergue. There I met Hans and had dinner with him.
