The walk between Jimena and Ubrique turned out to be quite rough and took many hours. The temperature was a little lower though than it had been until then, but the path was very crude and dotted with loose stones of different sizes that made the foothold insecure, and it moved constantly up and down the steep hillsides.

In Ubrique I went to the tourist information and they gave me an address to a nearby guest house, Hostal Rosario. The door was locked but there was a phone number written on the wall and five minutes after calling I was let in and given a room by a very hospitable woman.
