We learnt last night it has not rained here since October. Even some of the tough scrub vegetation and Stone pines are dying off.<br \/>We do manage to spot a pair of Greater Spotted Cuckoos and a pair, probably of bee eaters.<br \/>After some steep ascents and descents we get to Alhabia. A builders yard has someelting adobe bricks gradually melting back into the clay from which they came. and a cool square with a cafe full of cyclists<br \/>Who we hope are not heading for the same alburgue as us tonight and after coffee head down to the bed of the river which has a metalled road running up the side of it.  This is a better irrigated area than yesterday and we wander up through orange orchards. When suddenly we see a new brightly coloured bird. It settles just too far away for a good look we creep vloser trying to get a good picture of it. After a few minutes we get a good look and fail to identify it.  We see two more strangely coloured birds and the a local with a flock of 20 or so pigeons all of whom he has psinted brightly at the age of one year. Each to their own.<br \/>Further up the river we finally reach Alboloduy. A very well situated village with a bar.  We are directed to the Ayuntamiento where a lady woth a host of information about the town finally takes us to the alburgue\/casa rurale.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/?ie=UTF8&#038;q=37.03184,-2.61937&#038;ll=37.03184,-2.61937&#038;t=k&#038;z=16\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to where we are on Google Maps<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up early and along to the village for a quick tostados and cafe before heading out into the parched landscape up a steep hill.
