Almaden sits in a small flat valley beneath the Sierra Morena mountains. The name comes from the Arabic al-ma'din (the mine) — the Romans extracted marble here, and the quarries were active into the modern era. The town is quiet and unhurried, with basic services.
The 15 km ahead to El Real de la Jara have no fountains — fill up before leaving.
Notice
The road ahead is another 15km stretch without fountains, stock up in Almaden before setting off.
The Road
The camino is well marked through town and quickly returns to rural tracks; it follows a decidedly not straight path to El Real de la Jara as it attempts to go around the peaks rather than over them.
