Mora to Sonseca

'There was no room in the inn' on the next stage of our Camino so we had to walk a different route, Sonseca, via Orgaz.
We are crossing the great plains of Spain in La Mancha. Almond trees, castles, bridges and old water pumps 


On entering Orgaz we heard a band playing in the street - not a welcoming band for us but as an escort - on the First Sunday after Easter the Eucharist is taken around the town to people who are unable to attend Mass. Altars are laid out in the street where they need to stop.


We made our first refuelling stop in Orgaz
 
Lovely countryside 



Flocks of sheep on the road

And an enormous almond factory that could be seen for miles (nougat, marzipan & Christmas sweets).
