The castle overlooking El Real de la Jara makes for the perfect excuse to go for a bit of a climb, to take in the views, and to enjoy a fine sunset. It is empty inside but has been made safe for exploring.  

The Road

About 1km after leaving El Real, the camino crosses a small creek which marks the entrance to the region of Extremadura. It continues to follow rural trails until El Culebrin and the adjacent 24h truck stop.

Camino de Sant… (not verified)

At least 1 supermarket open when we arrived. Ate bocadillo near clock tower and others at albergue went to restaurant for lunch. Appears to be plenty to eat at least on weekdays.

Camino de Sant…

The municipal albergue at the entry to the town is currently closed to pilgrims. The next albergue is just a few steps down the camino and is open, along with others like Alojamiento Molino, which is family run. (Alojamiento Molino has been in service to pilgrims for more than 80 years!)
