Olive Trees Galore

My alarm went off at 5 30 but unusually i think i dozed for a bit. But time waits for no man. I packed squeezed into the lift and descended. So much bashing and crashing at that time. But outside i asked the streed cleaners where i coukd find water. They pratically took me to the fountain, so helpful. Then into a cafe for coffee.

As always great to off. I descended a bit and wished i had put on a long sleeve, but as soon as tge road turned up i was hot. The darkness hides the land scape but entering the district of Jaén there is a gurantee of olive trees and millions of them.

The olive groves stretch throughout the day. My usual snipof information is, Spain produces more olive oil than the next 3 countries combined. (Italy, Greece and Turkey i think 🤔)

Such a beautiful route today.

I got into Martos i went for the 1st cafe. It was ok. Unfortunately i discovered many beautiful parts of the town later

I stopped in the Coviran in Arjona and bought some quick eat provisions. As i was consumibg tgem in a close park the owner came out and gave me a bottle of water. So kind.

Then i rode on, discovered the campsite i was aiming for was not a campsite. I med a South African who had been living im Morocco and was travelling on a motorbike to start work in Madrid. I eventually stopped in a rest/picnic area. Waited till it was nearly dark and put up my tent. Today was a good day.
