So, this is day 2 for the blog, from Colmenar Viejo to Manzanares el Real.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>So\u00a0it was a really great\u00a0day\u00a0walking. We got off to a good start at about 8.30, having had breakfast at the hotel.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The tracks were really good all day.\u00a0The scenery was stunning, looking at the\u00a0mountains\u00a0and we managed to get a couple of drone shots. I should add that\u00a0I’m\u00a0not a great fan of drones. I think they can be a bit intrusive, but we only used it for\u00a0a short time\u00a0when no people were around. We could see there was no one near us, so I certainly\u00a0wouldn’t\u00a0use it if there was only one\u00a0nearby.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We expected rain all day. Excuse me, panting.\u00a0We’re\u00a0walking up a hill. We expected rain all day,\u00a0but we only got caught in the rain for the last 20 minutes, which was good.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>And then we stayed with a little Donativo Albergue last night run by Ray and Rosa. The Donativo is known as Ray and Rosa. That’s it for day two.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
