To Villatuerta day 7

After a restful night we headed out for Villatuerta. We came into Puenta la Reina after about 2km where we were finally able to get some cash.
 It seems a that my travel ATM card does not work, but my regular card does. Good thing I brought it. I will call the CU later to see if it can be fixed. After Puenta la Reina came a long grinding climb, mostly in the sun. It wasn’t too bad it makes me look forward to the flat meseta to come. 
We passed through several towns, each one hotter as the day wore on. By 4:00 when we arrived at our albergue we were really ready to be out of the sun. This albergue caters to vegetarian pilgrims. Dinner was incredible: a mixed salad packed with wonderful vegetables and an incredible table-sized paella vegital that was shared by all. It was fabulous. Now to bed for an early start tomorrow. Hopefully we can beat the heat to Villamayor de Mondarin.
