A day ahead of schedule. Slept in car
In a Toledo suburb. Today is
The national day of Spain, and most shops are
Shut. Where to buy food, or just have a piss?
Finished a bread roll, an in-car breakfast
Bought snacks at a nearby filling station
First stop Talavera on the Tagus
Then Sierra de Gredos. It´s great fun
Speeding around the tight bends. The next town
Was Ávila, for Santa Teresa
Renowned. El Escorial next on list...
That San Lorenzo Monastery is some
Sight in the setting sunlight. Could see far-
Off Madrid in the distance. Ate churros.*
*Churros con chocolate - a sort of doughy long winding thing that is often eaten with thick gooey chocolate sauce.
