After 127km, I was in Teruel, the eponymous capital city of the smallest province in Aragón. It stands out for its mudéjar architecture; combining Arabic and Christan influences. The landscape was drier as well; it was beginning to feel more like Valencia. Teruel felt like a very traditional Spanish town. I arrived as the sun was going down and enjoyed a delicious beer in the sun. I was delirious from exhaustion and hunger; after checking in and showering in my hostel, I proceeded to wander around the city. It was a warm Friday evening and everyone was out. I meandered through the streets and things didn’t feel real. It was like I was in a movie set of traditional Spain. It was a bizarre feeling. I felt very out of place. I left a rambling, semi-coherent video message to Matt, trying to describe the odd feelings I was having. I was so tired I could have laid down on the side of the busy street and passed out. Time to get some food to ward off symptoms of insanity! I bought some traditional goods: olive spread, chocolate and some giant loafs of bread from a 300 year-old-bakery. I went to the local supermarket to further stock up on supplies with the idea of making a monster sandwich for my final day. I retreated to my cozy room to build a giant sandwich while eating dinner at the same time. The following day would be legendary: I was shooting to arrive in Valencia – which would put the total km’s at over 150. I needed some serious fuel for the ride and couldn’t rely on tortillas in random pueblos. I needed to make something magical. The sandwich consisted of hummus, generous helpings of aioli, sliced red peppers, vegetable burger patties, avocado, and olive spread. As I constructed it, I ripped off delicious pieces of bread from my baguette and hungrily dipped it in the various sauces. By the end, I was very proud of my work of art. It was the size of a small baby and loaded with delicious calories. It would be my fuel and my motivation for the first half of the day.
