Lunch spot, third day. The ride consisted of a 72km loop from Fregenal de la Sierra, through Cabeza la Vaca, past Segura de Leon, Bodonal de la Sierra and back to the Hotel Christina in Fregenal de la Sierra. Definitely the best ride (& lunch)! |

through the trees is the Castillo en Segura
de Leon.

Town of Cabeza la Vaca (Head of the Cow). Criminals and those of low moral character (like Mike, Tim and Carlos, pictured) would be tied to this pillar and whipped until they repented. You gotta love that. |
