Mo woke up with a migraine this morning so we spent a quiet day around the campsite.
Later in the day we visited Castillo de Penarroya
which is situated next to the final Laguna which would perhaps be better described as a reservoir as it’s been created courtesy of a huge dam.
Two things underline the sheer remote and unspoilt aspect of Las Lagunas de Ruidera. Firstly, we wished to visit a larger supermarket to stock up on provisions. A 50 mile round-trip was necessary to find the equivalent of a small Lidl.
Secondly we needed diesel so pulled up at the local Repsol in Ruidera. A sign said something like “servicio asistido” which we assumed was “we serve you”. Anyhow after 5 minutes no-one appeared so I slotted 60 Euros worth in the tank. Went indoors to pay but not a sign of anyone in charge. A full 10 minutes later before a lady turned up and took my Euros – I wonder if she worked there?
