The first day of riding was a loop beginning and ending at Zafra. The first stop was to tour a leather and a ceramics factory in Salvatierra de los Barros, followed by the lunch stop at Feria.

The Castillo de Feria. Extramadura province was the mothership for the Conquistador, and their castles crown the highest points.

Street in Feria. Lunch spot was a little bar just around the corner.

Leaving Feria.
CMG flips the map to the afternoon's ride back to Zafra.
Climbing away from Feria. The Castillo is on the hill to the left. The white area is the whitewashed walls of the town. The road follows the route of an amateur road race and the locals have painted signs of encouragement on the road.
