2015-04-26: Walking day Funte de Cantos – Zafra (26/ 158 km)

Had my breakfast at the second floor of the albergue – part of the price – and then walked out of the little town.
After about 6 km I got to the village “Cazadilla de los Barros”. Had seen the back of three persons on the road. They did stop there. One of them was the Italian girl from “Guillena”. She asked for Hans. I left them since I wanted to continue, thinking about if she had made her long night walk.
After a while the rain arrived and I had to put on my “tent”, the big German rain poncho. This was the first time I used it for real. I had difficulties to arrange it correctly but finally I succeeded. That was really needed since the rain was pouring down. It calmed down eventually however.
Much up and down in long curves though the cultivated landscape. After a long while I arrived at “Puebla de Sancho Perez” where I had a little coffee before the last kilometers into “Zafa”.
On a sidewalk I was pointed towards an albergue by, what proved to be, a Finn that had lived here for 20 years. He came from Karelen, but spoke good Swedish. We agreed to have dinner together a bit later.
After having walked around the city for an hour or so I found it to be a good place. I phoned Birgitta who was visiting Anna and heard “the little one” – still without a name - in the background for the first time.
Later it became a night that I will not forget, when a Swede and a Finn spoke Spanish together for a whole night. Believe it or not!!!
