In Baena after 27km walk from Alcaudete.
This morning, after reading the guidebook which said that this section was badly waymarked because farmers plough all the pathways up, I decided to walk to Baena along the main road (N432) and not try to follow the Camino. This because it was a longish run and I didn´t fancy getting lost and wasting all my time wandering aimlessly around olive groves looking for non-existent yellow arrows (which I have already done twice so far) and also because the little toe on my right foot, which showed no problems when I was training (on roads mostly), has now become painful and bleeds a bit. I am overcoming this by airing my feet every 2 hours or so and changing to dry socks and putting a new dressing on. It seems to be doing the trick. TMI? Walk was boring apart from super views back to Alcaudete and of Luque Castle and the old Olive Oil Train at the Estacion de Luque. Walking was much faster than on the Camino even though I did head down the N432 the wrong way at the start!![More details and pictures on this section when I have more time].
